Victorious Festival 2025

[bingobear]

after today's announcements I'm really thinking Pulp - Fontaines - Prodigy could be the 3. pretty solid line up if that's the case

Would be such a missed opportunity if victorious don’t book Florence for 2025.

 

shes done boardmasters in 2023, it’s been a long time coming for victorious.

 

I would think they would be one of the names they would be after. In recent years we seem to get one artist not doing the general Superstruct circuit and Florence & The Machine would be a good shout for that slot.

[Ryan1984]

When do we think the announcement would be?

 

Was talking with my brother earlier and we thought Kings of Leon, Basement Jaxx (did I read they’re touring again?) and Florence would be good shouts here.

Do we think fontaines big enough for main or headline castle? With all the other leaked headliners from other fests it may be comes a little clearer of who we could get . So my guess would be 

common

Prodigy

Bloc Party

Pulp

castle

Travis

Fontaine

Basement jaxs

 

 

Prodigy Florence and Pulp would be ace.

 

That's probably a ticket bought on that

Basement jaxx already have gigs announced on Sat and Sun of victorious. 
 

Can’t see them playing 3 nights in a row.

Come on Victorious, hurry up and put the COMMON PEOPLE sign up on the hill.

 

How good would singing and dancing along to Common People on the common field be?

[NorthernSoul52]

Or Pink Glove. Scare the locals a bit.

You're likely right but they are in the right place Saturday location wise to make it easy to pay it. Portsmouth up to Crystal Palace Bowl isn't an age away if they can do Crystal Palace to Cardiff the next day.

Expecting The Reytons to be further up this time, 3 years since playing unless they are a Tramlines exclusive.

 

I don't see Fontaines if they wouldn't take Glasto sub. They might just be mind. No Victorious headliner has gone on to headline Glastonbury except for the potential of Sam with the difference in 2022 he had a massive year and did Finsbury the same year he did 3 superstruct events as opposed to one and feels like they would end up in more the cycle of that. Fender has already has bigger tours when he did them presumably as a big package deal along with everything else he did that year but would appear that it would be only that date. I take bands who only did Victorious that this year for example and previous in Jamiroqui, Biffy Clyro, Fatboy Slim, Mumford & Sons to name....they aren't going to headline Glastonbury from it.

Reytons not Tramlines exclusive, 3rd billing at NBHD.

[BlackFoxx]

There was talk of Vampire Weekend at Truck but seemed to fall through to be replaced by Kasabian. Could they have ended up here instead?

So they are, could be the only superstruct event though. I'm sure Richard only played Tramlines this year and I'd wager he got that due to be a northern act.

VW were kinda a years gone by act for me. I went to watch then on the Pyramid last time and just wasn't feeling it... saw them a couple of times in their days coming up but I'd take VW, The Prodigy and Pulp with some of the undercard names about.

Few people got spun a few incorrect bits from usually accurate people.  
 

Problem with Victorious it does sell a lot of day tickets too and I just don’t see VW being a band that sells them in Portsmouth (APE/Lido/Crystal Palace seem more likely for that)
 

Are Pet Shop Boys about? They’re the sort of act I can see doing there.

Ashcroft? That was 23, and I think was a hang over from when he stepped back from the immediate post-covid event, as he's vehemently anti-vaxx
