Victorious Festival 2023 Discussion

[Dales]

More then enough for me on this poster. I just hope the clash gods are kind. A great trio of afternoon guests in Blossoms, Nat & Hard Fi.

So are we assuming Tong, Alt-J & Ben Howard are castle headliners?

I’m hoping at least 2 of those 3s are on the main stage and we may get a few more surprises.

That was my assumption. 

Potential of Weller or Gallagher headline the Sunday

[johnl]

Florence could headline the Sunday. She’s in Paris on the Saturday. More likely to turn up at All Points East though.

[jannybruck]

Think this is probably one of the most well-rounded second tier festivals I've seen this year. Loads of great stuff for different demographics.

[Bubblepopelectric]

After relooking at the line up, it is growing on me. We have decided we are going. Wonder who the Sunday headliner is? Hoping it's not Florence, saw her at Reading and although she started off good, we got bored very quickly and left.

[HarryHammer]

Excited by Ben Howard... do people think he will be Castle Stage clash with Sunday TBC headliner??

 

Oh and after 'er indoors moaning she wanted to see the Blossoms again we've gone the whole hog and booked the 3 days... we got pre booked accom for the 3 days so no big deal but can see us having a early Friday night and keep powder dry for Sat-Sun.

very happy with that line up and get to see kyle and the boys with my same jeans on again. Sunday could be NOEL, with Marr playing, if not doing Ireland? Could be Weller and maybe Flo.Think 2 door out now,but?

[luckysalt]

Everyone has their own tastes but for me this is so middle of the road. 

Blossoms early Friday is huge though. 

If I was going I'd be happy enough I guess but it's not got me changing my mind and going now. 

Charlatans and Johnny Marr I'm gutted to miss though.

If it was two door i can't see why it wouldn't be announced - maybe to help community at a push as a reason as to why

they've spent a lot on the undercard so could see them wanting a cheaper 3rd headliner maybe - although Kasabian and JK aren't particularly expensive to begin with i feel

Did think DMAs would be there though,unless get named as support for main act Sunday?

[retrokev]

Maybe Sunday not showing as may be a legal thing going on and will get Noel with Dmas support? Hoping.

Would love for him to steal the gig potentially from his bro. OR....(never ever gonna happen) they both play. Same time, same stage, together maybe

That would be crazy but surely far to big? Would be super fun should it ever happen.

It cant be anyone headlining Superstruct mid level fest's as surely no reason to hold them back. Think we should be looking for smaller then Liam but good to dream.

I think Morrissey subbed by Marr 😊

Victorious is by far the biggest one out of the lot though. Out of all their festivals

I would love them to get Liam and if Superstruct got him it would for Victorious or Boardmasters.

Maybe it will be someone big like Liam or at least someone different to the other Superstruct events as there would be little point in holding back a name listed on all their other events.

Come on Liam..............

[DomDom1984]

Liam Gallagher would be a tremendously pleasant surprise.

Would make up for fucking Blossoms' name turning up on the other one outside of Kendal that I was interested in.

Boardmasters have Florence and the machine  and Liam Gallagher booked anyway so not ruled out atall.

Co-Headliners?

But yeah, always a shout of multi-signing one of them for another festival. Superstruct do seem to like that model of having the same artists moving around their set of books, althugh tends to be smaller names.

You could also make the case, if it was one of them to hold the name back to help shift boardmasters day tickets when they go on sale. Damn, I am starting to think it is doable.

In the end, it's the hope that kills you. I need to dampen down expectations. We are going to be so dissapointed when they annouce the Wombats as Sunday headliner 😊

Godd calls, I guess it will be a while before we actually find out.

[Dales]

I wonder what happened to Beabadoobee. She was on the first wave of names.

Boardmasters have him on an exclusive

they are both superstruct so i guess its possible but would be quite weird to hold him back for no reason really

anyone expecting LG is only kidding themself i think

Most likely just got asked to play Reading & Leeds so canned Victorious off I reckon, tin foil hat says maybe an early sign The 1975/Dirty Hit are doing something that weekend at All Points East...
