Taking place in Southsea Common, the fun-filled Victorious Festival returns to the area from August 25th to 27th. With the unique setting of being nestled right next to the Solent, it’s always a must-see event for music fans of any genre.

Other acts on the bill that day include Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics, Blossoms, RAYE, Friendly Fires, The Charlatans, Jake Bugg, Circa Waves and the UK’s Eurovision 2023 entry Mae Muller.

Following a triumphant headline set at the Isle of Wight Festival last year, Kasabian return to the south coast as they headline Saturday night.

However, in true Victorious fashion, there really is something for everyone on the bill as artists including Annie Mac, Kate Nash, Deco and Natalie Imbruglia feature.
Back for their only UK show of 2023 on the Sunday night are folk heroes Mumford & Sons. Now a three piece, their exciting return comes ahead of their upcoming fifth studio album. The day also sees artists including Ellie Goulding, Ben Howard, The Vaccines, Johnny Marr, Sea Girls, Sigrid, Hard-Fi and Sigala on the lineup.
It’s not all about music either at Victorious, with the festival featuring sure-to-be hilarious afternoon comedy sets from the likes of Jason Manford, Dara Ó Briain, Omid Djalili, Tom Davis, Angelos Epithemou and Zoe Lyons.
