Victorious Festival 2018

[luckysalt]

I tell you who would be an awesome early act on the Sunday, 10cc! They're playing a festival in Switzerland on the Friday. That would get them in early!

one of the best live 'retro' bands out there - with an absolutely fantastic list of hits.

Graham Gouldman is a song-writing genius. He even wrote this...

I've not seen them, they played by me 2 yrs back but I was working sadly.

Beach boys or Brian Wilson to headline one of the nights apparently?

Maybe as a sub or the legends slot?

Sunday's special guest seems like a good shout 

[dan8k]

Just seen this aswell

'Exclusive - big sign erected in public place' good work.

Decent booking though especially if it's non headliner / makes the prodigy booking even stronger if they aren't.

Image is broken

[seanz25]

I'd presume it was this photo from Southsea Castle, doing to the rounds on social media? 

[luckysalt]

Thats a stonking announcement, expect it will be tomorrow.

[luckysalt]

Man all they did was tweet the image and say happy first day of spring.... 

Gits.

Fortunately it'll be Brian Wilson and not the current Beach Boys, who are playing dates in America over the weekend.

[eFestivals]

just announced:

Brian Wilson 
Sleaford Mods
The Cribs
Dub Pistols
Stereo Honey
Cassia
Bang Bang Romeo
Electric Pyramid
Catherine McGrath
Fenne Lilly 
Nathan Ball

[Tommy101]

Brian, Cribs and Dub Pistols all good additions for me. Not heard of many further down the list so there maybe more to discover too.

[Mattymooz]

Still no special guest on the Sunday either...

[luckysalt]

Surely Everything Everything must be headlining castle stage as it looks now, if the cribs are subbing them meaning they're on when Paloma is, I'm very happy. 

Top 3 main must be Weller, Paloma, Wilson. 

It's a very weak second announcement on the whole for victorious but the first announcement was stronger name wise than previous years so probably evens out. Sleaford Mods I wonder where they will play, Sunday is quite hard to see who will end up where.

It’s funny how we perceive things differently isn’t it? I think it’s an excellent 2nd announcement.

Brian Wilson makes it for me but the undercard is looking good now as well.

Saturday is crazy strong, 100% relied on The Prodigy to sell and at that price probably will but I would chose Saturday now. Weller, Wilson, The Cribs, Coasts and Pigeon Detectives for old times.

Common Stage I'd have thought, with Jason coming on with The Prodigy later. I'm hoping Friendly Fires are the sub, if so I'm v tempted to go

TBH can't say I know many there outside of Wilson, Mods, Dub Pistols and Cribs, who is worth taking a look at from the rest?

Looking increasingly likely they are subbing. Can't see them paying to book a bigger sub than they need to at this stage, I just wonder why they're holding off on the early act, unless its already there, they just haven't bigged it up.

Without knowing your tastes it’s difficult to say, but I really like Stereo Honey - indie guitars and falsetto vocals. I saw them earlier this year and they were decent.
