I think they announced a lot really early doors (like normal time of year for the announcement but just MORE than they would have).
August Bank Holiday feels quite far away as well.
I would of thought they would keep drip feeding info, build the excitement and keep the festival a talking point.......it just feels very forgotten.
Victorious has so much potential to be awesome, but it just feels meh! Although a lot of people have said the same about other festivals x

Just nice they haven’t forgotten the festival was actually happening as it seemed like that.
They just keep churning out the old news.
They just seems to be no excitement over this years victorious.

They are announcing the Road to Victorious Winner, but hoping they may say more.

Have to say, it’s so weird they didn’t bother even putting the Beats&Swing on Twitter or their website.
Was it a mistake to put it out there?
I am surprised there is nothing on the website too. Especially as last year about 8 or 9 acts from the beats stage made the main poster (Including the 3 beats headliners) although I dont think it was a mistake, them posting it. Just shocked they not acknowledged them on main website or app for that matter.

Presume this is a food outlet at Victorious?
Also @siscogot to be this week surely?
There is a cafe in the skatepark. As they are in the festival fences, they put a stall outside the front entrance to skatepark and were selling a range of cheap and cheerful food and drinks. (Not the normal all year prices, as it’s a festival and a chance to make money for the cafe, but much cheaper than other vendors)
although I have heard the cafe has new owners and had a refit end of last year, so got to see if they do the same sort of thing for Victorious this year.

We went for Jacket Potatoes there! Found the food bloody awesome. Pipping hot, plentiful and much cheaper than most places xx

I found it extremely easy to sneak spirits in last year using pouches. I had a bottles worth of Captain Morgans each day while my wife had a bottle of Malibu in pouches attached to her. I even went off site on the Saturday to the local Sainsburys to get another bottle to dispense into pouches. Note, I did not drink all of this myself! However, let's just say...Kaisers into Kasabian was a massive party for us!! Only festival cost I really had was buying some coke from ice cream vendors.
I think most of Victorious go in with pouches strapped to them. My problem is going in with my daughter who needs a drink every hour and eating is every 2-3 hours! Costs a bloody fortune. Although I found one of the cheapest places for food was southsea skatepark last year!

Exactly how we feel.... seems very flat this year
If I remember, you’re a local???
Glad your feeling the same, you get a few people who are excited, but there definitely isn’t the same buzz in Portsmouth for Victorious this year.
I really think it’s a shame, as Victorious has so much potential

I know we're just under 6 months away but can anyone remember roughly when the stage splits and times were released last year?
Last year, we knew the stages by May, but the actual times went out early July.
Some of the acts/stages have been put on website, but nothing been updated in months, since before the second announcement.

Yeah I’d be the same if I was local, buy early and go whatever.
We still haven’t took the plunge as no idea what we’re doing yet. Friday isn’t happening for certain but no idea if we’ll do 1/2 days yet. Got a hotel booked but might save some money there and drive home after the 2nd night if we decide to do sat and Sunday.For me, summer and a Bank holiday, if I wasnt doing anything, I would probably be in Southsea anyhow....so for me its just buying our food and drinks each day. (And to be honest, we usually have a big brunch at home to keep us going till later in the afternoon)
But I totally get all the extra costs you guys have to pay, hotels, travel, etc. for a festival with very little buzz about it. Its a tough one xx

Im local, so I bought a weekend ticket for £145 plus 11.60 booking fee on early bird one, because I'd be going in some way whatever the line up- its on my doorstep.
If I wanted to buy the weekend ticket now its £226.80
To be honest, with the line up, even as a local, it would be a no from me- I might of considered going for one day.
I dont know if its just me, but their seems to be no buzz about Victorious this year, some people are happy, but it just feels flat, no excitement- Ive even heard people calling it Groundhog day.
I suppose the good thing for me, is, I dont have to go in all day, I can travel day later, leave early and we can go in and out, therefore I dont have to pay the over inflated food and drinks prices all day. Which will save me a fortune x
-
If we on £75 a day, and only early bird 4, any guesses at the final day ticket price???

I wonder if this was to dissuade that HUGEEEE group of teens who were doing NOS round the side on the hill last year, lol
Got to admit, must of missed that, although I only went there a few times.

Means we won’t be getting too much more in the way of big acts then
I am now interested in what they will do with the D-DAY car park, that's a big space - although I agree, not a lot more will be announced. as they will put some of the beats acts on the poster (They had 2 or 3 from each day last year)
-
Beats and swing will be on Seaside Stage!

So with the price increase, any chance of an announcement tomoz?
I doubt it, Victorious never announce on a Friday, but could be wrong - Not expecting much in the announcement.

Monday I believe.

I am camping and what is this about shuttle bus fees?
A weekend camping ticket is the same price as non camping ticket for an adult, however if you chose to camp, you need to know the following
If you park in the campsite parking its £25.00 for weekend (Free street parking is a little bit of a trek with all your camp stuff)
If you use the campsite buses to go to festival, it costs £35 per adult plus booking fee
Victorious Festival 2024 10th Anniversary
in other UK festivals

Im a local, so cant say too much on the camping, but I know there is nothing in the form of pubs/clubs that would be open near the campsite (I live about 0.5mile from it) and I think I have seen that they try and keep the campsite fairly quite after a certain time, due to it just being a massive field, split into zones, so your fairly close to families.
Your best bet, is to stay near the festival, as there are plenty of pubs and clubs, as the others have said. These are pretty much on the festival doorstep.
However you will need to get back to the campsite afterwards, and the festival campsite buses may have stopped. You will need to get a taxi, which will cost £12-£20 or the local bus, which runs 24hrs and is hourly I believe, which will take about 30-45mins and has a bit of a walk to campsite (10-15mins)
In the terms of the cost of the campsite. To buy a weekend ticket (No camping) or a weekend ticket with Camping - It costs the same £210 plus fees. So technically your camping is free. But if you use the buses, it is £35 per person per day.
