Victorious Festival 2024 10th Anniversary

[luckysalt]

Weird in the write up there's no mention of Biffy apart from in the very top. Wonder if they weren't going to announce them today but Reading and Leeds have gone strong so had to announce more

[luckysalt]

Whilst I think it's strong, its need a few 80s acts on there, IOW has that sewn up this year. 

They need Human League, Blondie, Bananarama, Howard Jones, something like this. 

Also, I wonder have they done away with the early special act?

It's a decent line up for me personally, but not amazing. But its better than last year

Doesn't co-headline just mean snow patrol are subbing but they get their name in headline size font (& presumably get headline fee)?

Whilst I am eating humble pie on my earlier post, joint headline usually mean longer sets.  Sub at Victorious is usually 1 hour, but I can see Snow patrol playing longer (75 - 85).  

The only previous example of joint headliners I can remember is Specials / Two door who played 75 and 85 mins respectively.

Yes Fatboy Slim will be after Snow Patrol but if anything think Snow Patrol will get longer set if not same length of set as Fatboy Slim

Also seems to suggest Sea Power are playing.

I've never been before but I love this lineup and it has me tempted, I'm at Taylor Swift the week before though so not sure if I can swing it with work to have even more time off haha

Some bad clashes already. Jamie T against Pixies is horrible and Biffy v Wet Leg. Not sure they’ve got them right.

Probably makes it less likely I’ll go as I’d have wanted to see all of them.

[bingobear]

that Jamie T/pixies would be my biggest nightmare

Victorious always decide to clash acts that likely have the same fanbase.

Fatboy Slim - Jess Glynne

Jamie T - Pixies

Biffy Clyro - Wet Leg

[s30foster]

Can't wait to get pumped up by IDLES to then chill for Snow Patrol and then party with Fatboy Slim!!

My cousin has called it the Bipolar day!

[Jack01825]

Nah, that Friday is perfect now. I was dreading having to skip Fatboy Slim for Idles but problem solved.

Shame they couldn't swap days with Pixies and Jess Glynne.

Seen Wet Leg twice - very, very overated.  Go and see Biffy. 

[Dales]

Some tuff calls to make. As hoping to attend a few other festivals like Truck, I am hoping that Jamie T and Wet Leg headline some of those festivals. Would have been nice to catch Jamie but its a no brainer for me Pixies all day long.

The Wet Leg clash is just plain mean.

Seen Biffy like 4 or 5 times and will see them again. Just would of liked to seen Wet Leg.

They never used to, but it seems to be something they've done recent years. 

Unless they're going to start staggering the stages so the Castle headliner plays between the main stage gap, that is a pretty big gap usually it's about 50 minutes isn't it

[reetrokev]

line up not bad at all ,but clashes are pants but will have to be jamie t and wet leg for me. undercard pretty decent and would like someone like blondie human league in there and others like milburn zutons embrace.we will see.wonder if they will do special guests and special openers for day.

[Riggins]

Courteeners into Jamie T will have me pretending I'm 17 again

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Wet Leg are absolute shite so that clash is great for me.

[Dg_vic]

Easier visualisation of clashes for those interested (as far as known). 
 

 

 

Just to add, they announced Ben Howard as headliner of castle stage this time last year and he was on 3rd castle in the end so don’t take clashes as gospel.
