Looks like clues being sent out soon, saw this on facebook. Right then, Truckers, let's do this... who wants to see the 2024 Line Up before anyone else!? Hit the link, sign up and you may get a surprise in the post from us

The general sale is on Friday but it might only be via Global Player. Tickets for the exclusive gig go on general sale at 9am on Friday 12th January on Global Player, the official Radio X app.

A good chance to see them at a smaller venue. Tickets were on O2 Priority today but no surprise that allocation are now gone.

If they had Beans on Toast subbing the Levellers it would be so much more tempting. As it is, there will be far to many other options this year with plenty of acts that offer more for your money. Am I right to assume thats Beans and Levellers will be on at the same time?

In no particular order and numbered so I know I have not goneoover 10. 1. Siouxsie - Troxy 2. James Orchestral - Royal Albert Hall 3. Muse - Home Park Plymouth 4. The Mission - Roundhouse 5. Queens of the Stone Age - Dreamland Margate 6. Pulp - Finsbury Park 7. The National - Ally Pally 8. Depeche Mode - Twickenham Stadium 9. Inhaler - Camden Electric 10. Wet Leg - Royal Albert Hall

I guess doing his Barrioke Karaoke show. Maybe on one of the smaller stages but maybe opening a bigger stage to get everyone pumped up for the day.

Yeah, I thought that was a poor choice for Victorious and quiet dissapointing really. However, for Truck he would be a good sized headliner. Other then Biffy most of the top 2 lines from each day at Victorious must be in with a shout for Truck. It would not surprise me if Jamie T is the one that does the rounds and plays at multiple Superstruct events.

The Darkness for me last night and as you would expect they were great fun. I was looking forward to seeing Bad Nerves who were the advertised support but missed them as stuck in the que to get in. They must have come on super early and played to a handful of people as most people will have been in the que outside. Bad nerves must have been moved forward to accomadate the surprise support Ed Sheeran. Aparently he is a huge fan and had always wanted to open for them when he started out. I did see The Darkness support Ed years ago. So we got a half an hour of Ed bangers and he also came out during the Darkness to play Love is only a Feeling and done the rockstar jump from the drum kit stage. A quality night of entertainment complete with the F***** Christmas Song (Anyone who saw them support GNR at BST will know about the F****** Christmas Song) and a cover of Radioheads Street Spirit. After all these years The Darkness still put on a cracking show.

I wonder if Sea Power were included in the article by accident? Fatboy Slim’s appearance at the festival had previously been teased with a sign that had appeared on the Southsea seafront, which read ‘Praise You’ in reference to his hit of the same name. They will be joined by acts including Wet Leg, Becky Hill, Pixies, Courteeners, IDLES, Jess Glynne, Arlo Parks, Louis Tomlinson and Natasha Bedingfield. Also set to perform are Soft Play, the Lightning Seeds, Maximo Park, The Snuts, Yard Act, The Lottery Winners, The Pigeon Detectives, Holly Humberstone, The Amazons, The Lathums, Red Rum Club, Brooke Combe, Personal Trainer, Sea Power, Peace, The Murder Capital, Do Nothing and more.

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.

Also seems to suggest Sea Power are playing.

it's looking like a very likely clash.

Lets hope becky is not subbing Biffy on the Common and we get a clash of Biffy V Wet Leg on the Castle, that would be pants

Mon the Biff! Going to be gutted if that bits wrong.

I think its a cracking lineup and likely to go down very well with the people who go to Victorious. I am already worried about the amount of clashes. I guess, I am slightly different to most on efestivals in that I want to see names that I often see. I dont go to festivals to see new acts but its always nice if you find the odd one. Lots of names on the poster that I go to see their own headline gigs, Biffy, Snow Patrol, Pixies, Wet Leg, IDLES. So much good stuff on the poster Courteeners, Snuts, Murder Capital, Maximo Park, Lotetry Winners, CMAT, Lathums, Holly, Echobelly, Crystal Tides, Amzons Pigeon Detectives. Seen them all a number of times but means its stacked for me. It will be interesting to see how many of these make it on to other Superstruct events, obviously not Biffy but many of the others could do Truck, Y Not etc. Hoping Peace dont clash with anyone else I like as I have never seen them before but get the feeling they are the sort of act Superstruct will have block booked, so likely to catch them somewhere. Never seen Jamie T before but as he is likely to clash with the Pixies or Courteeners not likely to catch him here.

Looks very good but would they have a layout with all the headliners at the moment? I would be made up with most of that.

With Pixies at APE, what are they chances of them also being at Victorious. They would make a cracking Castle headliner, obviously against someone I like on the main stage, like mumford and Marr this year.

Because it's bought us back down to Earth and reality after talking about the dizzy heights of Pulp, Kings of Leon etc. It will look even more underwhelming if he goes on to be named for Truck, Y Knot and other smaller festivals.

Yes please, make it happen.

Yeah, great at Ally Pally and even got me to unfold my arms and shuffle my feet a little and that takes an awful lot 🙂

Yeah. To be fair I think I would be happy enough to See Fat Boy Slim. I have not seen him since my clubbing days back in the 90s and early 00's. I just hope they don't do anything stupid like put Courteeners on the same time on the Castle and cause me to have to make a hard call. To be honest, no idea what he even plays these days. Fat Boy against someone I don't care about is fine but can't take another Mumford v Marr call to make.

Yeah and when I think of those names, I don't think of him as a smaller name and so sort of makes sense that he would be that sort of headliner for Victorious. Be interesting to see who they would put on Castle against him. You would hope an indie name but it did not go that way this year with JK.

Don't they normally put the main stage headliners clues on the Castle are slope. Fat Boy would be great as a Castle stage headliner but pretty poor as main stage headliner.

Yeah your probably right. It's just when I saw Elvis and chip shop my mind went instantly to that lyric. "There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis" A talented lady and what a voice.

Dueting with Kirsty MacColl?
