Victorious Festival 2025

[northernangel]

From those two announcements, I'm after Reytons, Pulp, Bloc Party and TLDP and don't think any of them are unrealistic.

Reckon you’ll get The Reytons (but certainly not headlining Common!), Pulp and TLDP. Bloc Party only played a couple of years ago didn’t they so not sure about that. From the names towards the top, Travis look very likely to me.

All seem very realistic, I just want to dampen my Pulp dreams in case they do not come true.

yes to travis and there is a lot at kendal i can see that the others don't have. Bloc Party was 2019, 6 years ago. 

[Cowley4]

Wunderhorse are fantastic and are gonna get much bigger imo,

hopefully we get them

[Entyspudland]

Looking at the possibilities, let’s get 90s/early 00s and have Pulp and returns for Travis, Franz, The Prodigy, throw Ben Ottewell on the acoustic stage and an afternoon special guest for Bloc Party. Hell let’s have a return for Texas too! And The Coral since they couldn’t make t’other year!

Good grief. You are right, it was 2019! In that case they are certainly due a return. Maybe afternoon special guests?

[Kingkev]

I think we may have an exclusive but who I don’t know

The only issue with that is it won't give them the time slot that taking the Snow Patrol double slot would from this year. I'm going to go for The Prodigy closing after Bloc Party with them being a special guest but before them.

It's probably almost definite we will have one as all the other options around and Victorious get a lot before others as being bigger they have the space for it.

 

My guess currently is

 

The Prodigy

Bloc Party

 

Pulp

 

C&S Exclusive

 

Chase aren't being mentioned as much as other names for Glastonbury in the slots they would get. They played Creamfields this year and I don't think they are in the Reading selection from what I've seen. While they are riding the wave I could see them taking extra money to do this over Glastonbury.

I can’t see 2 dance acts headlining victorious (c&s, prodigy) but first time for everything I suppose. 
 

prodigy, pulp + 1 other (losing faith in Fontaines now).

I think had Fontaines not being doing a Finsbury Park gig this year the same time they've said no to a Glastonbury sub slot by all accounts it might have happened. But except for Sam Fender in 2022, who has gone on to then headline Glastonbury? I get the idea Victorious is a good vase for bands who would sub/play other headliner at Glastonbury but want to actually headline the night. 

 

I don't actually want C&S personally.

 

I unfortunately don't think Elbow doing Dublin supporting Robbie on August 23 completely rules them out but I reckon they would be doing Friday or Sunday in Dublin to have a gap between. My guess is they are going to do Hardwick Festival that weekend too maybe.

Leaning Pulp, but only if there is another show on the menu in Sheffield to wrap matters.

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

 

 

Fontaines are 100% a headliner now, they sold out finsbury park

There's no way Victorious end up having Prodigy and C&S with boomtown just down the road

 

Prodigy had to bail so could see them back at Boomtown to be honest.

 

C&S would be a fair shift from usual victorious booking policy to be honest, they bring in a very different crowd to all other headliners / the 90s dance headliners like FBS / Prodigy / Chems

Maybe we'll get Nothing But Thieves? There were talks of the 1975 doing it, but I cannot see them doing it in a million years, especially because now they're tipped to headline Pyramid Stage at Glasto on the Friday.

NBT are an Uk exclusive at truck

 

(thankfully, considering the accusations that have been levelled at them over the years).

Victorious always picks an uk exclusive or someone who we really don’t expect.

 

Im still praying for LDR for my 14yo. Especially if I don’t get the tour tickets, and a new album due, but that not going to happen.

 

My daughter old loves - Little Mix, (before she found LDR) maybe Jade or Perrie in the afternoon or headliner on castle, they are putting out loads of music. Totally away from who we are talking about, but victorious loves to throw in a curveball

The uk festival exclusive has only been a thing at Victorious for the last 2 years (Mumford, Biffy). I hope it continues but the list of artists available next year is very limited (based on who it looks like is headlining glasto).

I love LDR (my eldest’s middle name is Lana, lol) but there is absolutely zero chance of this sadly. Unless the alligator man fancies a jolly to the spinnaker. Might end up seeing her selling chicken at Ken’s after. 😂 I mean it wouldn’t beyond reasonable doubt. 
 

She was incredible (if short) at Glastonbury.

Hahaha! Send him down south parade pier to wrangle some of the locals! (We do have some special locals at times 🤣🤣🤣)

 

yeah long shot, but I’m can dream. Currently waiting to see if we are lucky in the pre sale ballot tonight. X

[JRhys29]

Wondering if we may get an American exclusive - Kings of Leon maybe?

 

Otherwise Florence? She hasn't popped up anywhere else as of yet has she?

Got everything crossed for you 🙂

 

I would LOVE to see a showdown between LDR and the erm, top hat wearing fella iykyk, I reckon she would eat him alive. Haha!

KoL would be amazing and on brand. Florence would also be a good get as well. 

 

I've seen both multiple times (Florence in literal pubs because I am that many years old), and would love to see either again.
