The key would be whether or not the Sunday at the bandstand days start up again. Rhythm of the 90s will be the sign. 😂
Just seen that the Costal scheme want to open up the bandstand field for April, and the new costal path from June (if they run on time)
Looks like we may have bandstand back at the bandstand 🤞🏻

I believe we will get a 3rd announcement but as others have said, I don’t think we get any big/huge names.
as Sisco said, if we look at the Sunday, if his prediction is correct, we have most of the Common & Castle acts.
but the posters from last year had all the Common, Castle, 4/5acts for acoustic, 2/3 acts for beats, and couple for world music for the Saturday for example.
While we may not get any big names, we may get some more acts for these kind of stages.
And the headliner a few years back for seaside, if it comes back was Clean Bandit

Haha yeah. Pompey loves the 90s genre as much as it loves Ken’s. 😝
Kens isnt as good as the old days, when it was only one shop in Osbourne Road, we would do the drunk walk from 5th to Ken's.(Showing my age here ) hahahax

They won’t book them anymore as it gets too busy! Were you at victorious when they had them on the common stage? That was mental x

Is this a complete guess or an educated guess? I’ve not seen anything that states the Seaside Stage is back this year?
To be fair, I think its a educated guess.
The Seaside stage or as us locals call it The Bandstand was closed in early 2022, as this field was used to house machinery and materials during the construction of the new costal defenses around the castle. This section of the works is due to be completed in Spring 2024, therefore should be reopened for the summer.
Last August, with the bulk of the heavy lifting work completed, they removed all the machinery and re-seeded the field, so it would be back to normal ready for the summer 2024, as the area is used every weekend over the summer for free music events.
So the bandstand or as Victorious call it the Seaside Stage, will be available to use again.
Whether they use it, is another thing, but on victorious website, they state it will be back once the costal work is completed.

Has anyone actually said the seaside stage is coming back?
Not officially, but the Victorious website still states, its coming back soon (Although its not been updated since 2022)
However we know that area will be completed under the Southsea costal scheme in next few months, and they reseeded the area, so it should be ready.

I RECKON SUPRISES TO COME AND THESE COULD BE ON A BIGGER BETTER SEASIDE STAGE
I am hoping so. I don't believe that is the final poster, it generally feels like there should be another 10-20 names on there, compared with the previous year. Last year we had around 28-32 names announnced for each day (Including comedy) and this year the festival grows with welcoming the seaside stage back. Currently its about 22 each day.
I dont believe we will get anyone big, unless its a surprise guest like McFly last year, but I do think there some room for some more.
Im saying roll on the 3rd announcement

Comments by Andy Marsh
Andy Marsh, Lead Booker at Victorious Festival, said: "We’re so pleased to be able to announce another wave of incredible acts for 2024 off the back of our huge headline announcement. This is just the start… we’ve still got hundreds more acts, performances, and activities to announce across the festival that will be the biggest, best value and most epic year yet.
-
I was honestly really disappointed this year, but since then, we checked out some of the smaller acts, and will be checking out a few of the new, up and coming bands etc.
Local so already got a weekend ticket.
Hoping for another smaller final annoucement and some surprise special guests!
-
Acoustic never has a separate poster, beats do, but often they already got the beats headliners on the main poster.

A lot depends if the seaside stage is back. If it’s not then that’s probably the huge majority of the big acts announced now.
Last year on the poster was about roughly 30 acts each day including comedy, this year its 20ish. I dont think we get many big acts, but it seems a little light to me
-
Is it me, or do we think there is going to be a third line up announcement? Feels a little lighter than 2023
-
Do we think this is a small announcement with a 3rd one to come, or we gonna get the rest of the main acts today?
-
Just listen to Wave 105 news, only update is Al Murray as final comedy act x

I'm trying, and failing, to find that in The News online, so frustrating! I'm impatient now!
It’s probably embargoed till 10am.

How many names do we think we’ll get? They announced more than usual in the first drop didn’t they?
Wonder if we’ll get 15 or 16 more tomorrow and the same again at the start of March which would probably complete the Main stages?
Do we know for sure whether the Seaside Stage or whatever it was called is making a comeback?
I know that the sea defence work in front of Southsea castle is nearly complete, and they have planted grass around the bandstand (seaside stage)
I have added a photo of what someone posted on Facebook of the area.
and on the victorious website, it does say Seaside Stage will be back soon.

So I’ve been sad and looked through and 3 of the last 5 main announcements have been Tuesday. (1 for Thursday + 1 friday)
They probably announce at 6pm Friday now, throw all our guesses out haha!

Does anyone know if there is a particular day this week on which they'll announce the second wave of acts? I can't remember from previous years.
I think its anyone's guess this year, as they not really followed their usual pattern. But if they do stick to a time, they always would announce around 10am (As I am usually on my tea break at work)
I'm going for 10am Wednesday!

Am considering VF this year for a one and done thing if I hit upon a cheap ticket or discount offer traded on Twickets etc close to the dates — no chance for this one?
Victorious never seem to sell out, you can always buy a ticket, but you can get cheaper tickets via Facebook groups. The actual Victorious pages or a group called Victorious Festival (chat, banter and information) but there are so many scammers on these pages inbetween some genuine sellers. Who have bought early bird and had a change of circumstances or just don’t like the line up. But be very careful. Tickets are released about 2-4weeks before via email. Personally I not heard of people buying via Twickets

Paloma Faith releasing new music, done Victorious before and is in UK that weekend. She could fit a afternoon slot.

Victorious is one of the biggest capacity festivals in the UK, and has so much potential yet, a lot of people never heard of it x

I live about a mile from the farlington fields camp site: And was shopping at the weekend in my local supermarket, Sainsburys (next to the campsite-down the road)
Just to update anyone camping, they are putting in a Costa Coffee, in the Sainsburys. No date of opening, which I have seen, but the signs have gone up outside the area inside Sainsburys. Also to say, sainsburys has a hot food counter, with pizzas, sausage rolls, wings etc and a yo sushi counter, as well as the usual bits and pieces.
Anyone else thinking of camping, there are also a couple of food vans near the camp site, which may be a lot cheaper than onsite.
