Last year it finished at the same time but the headliner on acoustic started 45 mins after the main header.  So yeah, 45 mins of Paolo then off to Fretwell would be the plan 

Sorry bud I looked it up and Helme was subbing Acoustic so that's why it worked out fine. 

[Mr Carbohydrate]

Would love Chris helme to get booked up again.  Also hoping for flowvers who pretty sure are local and I always seem to miss them in 

[retrokev]

for those that have not seen John Dylan Thomas  is well  worth a watch.

Did not expect Paulo to be below kasabian at liams Knebworth gig

Nope, it's going to be a later arrival there for sure.

Very happy i booked friday, fantastic value for money seeing 3 acts that charge £50+ a ticket for £75 (i live about 20 mins away too)

Kasabian are doing both days so this benefitted their slot i guess - you could hardly have Michael Kiwanuka above Kasabian and i'd think that Kasabian would want the same slot both days. It was either this billing order or a weaker support thats more level with Michael realistically.

I'd say Paolo and Kasabian are a fairly similar size to be honest. Strong support

Pretty pleased here too. Frees me up to see another headliner at victorious now

So that's a couple of those who were tipped for the seaside stage. From memory quite a step up headline wise for beats and swing 

[sisco]

Andy C, Example and Hot Chip is big!!

Definitely. Think it confirms the Seaside stage is gone for the year though

Yeah I’d say so.  They’re really going to need to makes Beats and Swing bigger 

[sisco]

Listening to The Beatles Dub Club and it’s amazing!!

[Mr Carbohydrate]

I don’t remember seeing utah saints before on the line up? Are they an addition?  Not usually big on the dance side of things but they were fantastic last time I caught them

Yeah quite a few additions.  Stanton Warriors too from the big ones

Thanks Sam217 - It was definitely Crystal Tides, I knew they were a local band because they mentioned Craig David being a "scummer" at the time - they were quality - that was how to smash a car park apart in the afternoon! Will look up The Royston Club and see what they are like 🙂

 

And sure enough Crystal Tides are on the Beats & Swing stage!

That development is until 2024 so area is closed until 2024 apparently, so next year as well and maybe even 2024 might be shut too depending on timeframes. Crazy how long things will take.

[luckysalt]

Also I wonder if the Beats and Swing has moved cus it's usually open Fridays as well.

Nevermind this, that's me thinking about things on 3 hours sleep. They moved the stage years back from Common and got rid of Fridays. 

There's 2018 map with it by common then last year's with it down by seaside

Yeah was a good stage that was, saw the Kate Bush tribute on there before, was really quality.

Another very small announcement James Walsh on the acoustic Stage Sunday.

Strange they would just drop this on its own. It went under my radar as well until I just read it here. Completely missed it on their socials. 

I thought we would get the bulk undercard and stage splits soon but maybe not now. 

[kelstar]

I thought it was just the local acts left to announce, but still getting a few surprises!

[jonnytee1]

If anyone is looking for new bands at Victorious  -  I'd recommend Honeyglaze who are playing on the Sunday 

Well worth catching if you get the chance
