I think LDR is a very long shot... Kings of Leon, however, could definitely get booked.

 

Florence & the machine have no dates announced for 2025 and BBC proms was the only date for 2024. It's possible, but if the band had been announced for a separate European date, it would be feeling more likely. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed but my hopes are not very high.

 

It's most likely going to be a combination out of two of the three: The prodigy/ Kasabian/Pulp and one other who hasn't been announced anywhere else

Kasabian was 2 years ago, so no chance.

 

Pulp + Prodigy look a good bet, who knows on the 3rd.

 

Victorious have never had an american band headline (flaming lips, many years ago is the only exception) and can't see it happening now.  

 

Florence have nothing else planned, but maybe announce alongside victorious.

 

The who?

How bout , even though let them down during Covid . Richard Ashcroft

[Dales]

I would imagine if we get Pulp there will be no exclusive act along with them, they would be the BIG ACT, wouldlove to be proved wrong and we get them with another big name and a standard Superstruct booking.

 

As for smaller acts, I am hoping for Shed Seven, if I say it every year its bound to happen eventually. I don't know if they played in the distant past but not since i started going to Victorious.

I could see it happening at some point but he may be considered a weak headliner these days for Victorious. Although he seem's to be getting popular again. The the nostalgia for 90's & 00's acts he would probably go down well. I am hoping we get some indie bands from those eras and Richard Ashcroft would tick that box.

Would like to see DMA's there but they don't seem to be at any of the other superstruct events this year 

[Mcbatesman]

there is 0.5% chance of LDR playing this lol

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 lana tour is some huge venues - it will be pretty easy to get tickets

I agree with this. I think Pulp will be the “big” act. Could also see something like Bloc Party into Prodigy another night.

There could still be an exclusive but perhaps a smaller act - no idea who that could be - the likes of Pet Shop Boys or Keane etc could possibly do it.

I’d like to see Fontaines personally. If their London show is sold out it could be done. Fender played both in the same year.

Less chance than that I’d suggest.

Agree with all the above.  If I could choose anyone right now (that is likely to play) its Fontaines, but the lack of other Superstruct events gives me the impression its not gonna happen this year (maybe next?) 

 

I just can't see any of the other superstruct headliners at Victorious as they seem to all have played recently.

[NorthernSoul52]

Had a dream Vampire Weekend were doing this the other night. Felt real enough that I was surprised to see nobody talking about it before I realised.

[luckysalt]

What are Chemical Brothers up to next year? 

 

I'd rather they weren't booked though as I've seen them headline main stages at festivals and it falls flat.

 

However in a tent they're amazing.

 

Seen people saying a lot of big names and Victorious don't do 3 big headliners, they still pad the line up out like a 2 day festival imo, 1 smaller headliner and it's usually the Saturday and they're a pop act. With a solid indie on the Castle. Done it for years 

 

Rudimental on common, Bloc Party on Castle

The Streets- Manics

Paolo- Bastille

Jamie T - Pixies

 

The Common act is never imo a huge step up on the Castle headliner in these occasions in terms of size. 

 

What's the word on Scissor Sisters? Are they doing any fests? Could see them headline Victorious on the Saturday. How's their tour selling?

[Quiksylver]

I've still got everything crossed for Muse closing the festival. They are doing festivals next summer just none in the UK announced yet....

 

Gotta manifest this exclusive. Must happen.

NBT are an Uk exclusive at truck

 

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

 

Have I missed something? They're not nonces as well are they?

Google ‘nothing by thieves allegations’ and all will be revealed.

They are as much of a nonce as if I said to the press you hugged me 

 

hence why they are still relevant nothing came of it , most people are unaware of it even which tell you it was probabaly someone looking for a quick payday

they seem too much of a large booking for victorious at the moment but stranger things have happened 

[Entyspudland]

Know it wasn’t that long ago that they played, but Supergrass doing ‘I Should Coco’ as afternoon special guest?

It's definetly a dream! 

[NorthernSoul52]

Supergrass are everywhere with Coco next year. This would be an excellent feelgood shout mid-afternoon.

 

Muse doing Victorious would be bonkers, if only because it effectively confirms their drop-off from the upper tier of festival pulling power in a way. It's a massive coup for the festival if so though, because many will still see them as slam-dunk Glastonbury headliner options.

Do we still think we'll see something next week? Their socials seem fairly quiet at the moment but maybe they're deliberately letting the other Superstructs do their thing first?

Well we normally only get the castle sign and that's it. It's normally just 10am one day and here's your line up

[johnl]

First announcement 5 December last year. Would think we’ll see something next week?
