Maybe, but people are paying a lot more for a ticket to that. I doubt it's financially viable for Victorious to sell a ticket for under £40 with a load of other acts when the top two cost £100 on their own, plus there is only two other cheaper acts for Glasgow.

Callum_96 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I would think with Ashcroft supporting Noel in Glasgow a couple of days before he'd be the front runner but I think the likes of Johnny Marr and CATB are still in with a shout.

sisco Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Could it not be that Noel is getting a long set instead of the usual hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catfish is way more likely right now imo. I hope Glasto confirm Ash next week meaning there is no reason to attend at all Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaminglippy Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm wondering if they have blown the budget on Noel G. Given last year's subs were Primals and SFA, can't see anybody arguing Echo and The Bunnymen are the same level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given last year's subs were Primals and SFA, can't see anybody arguing Echo and The Bunnymen are the same level? Entirely possible, although I doubt it. Few factors to consider, firstly they're later - although out-of sync - with the announcements this year, if we're looking at how they did things they the Darkness, We Are Scientists and over 100+ right at the end of April, the speed they're going at currently releasing acts would suggest a final large announcement featuring two or three act that will fit highly on the bill seems still very plausible. Secondly, Sunday looks very weak in comparison, depending on how you view Noel on his own stature wise in contrast to MSP's. You also have to think they release acts in bouts hoping to capture public's eye on those who haven't already bought tickets, by continously announcing new 'name' acts throughout the year leading up-to the festival so it keeps being a talking point within the local area, even at events such as family BBQ's and fairs for example. I'm also curious how much Noel actually demands for a festival appearance? He's everywhere this year, he's also played Bournemouth to which is still local enough IMO that some may not bother going to Victorious to see if they've seen him already. Although probably only small numbers of people. I personally am tempted to go back on what I said earlier here and predict Madness sub-headline it, doing Boomtown but there's no day tickets for that, plus there's one or two other acts Victorious and Boomtown are sharing so quite likely given the circumstances and people the festival attracts.

Yeah, hopefully. Wouldn't mind Madness although think they might be a little bit too big to sub for Noel? Regardless of who is or isn't announced in the future, its still excellent value for money.

Callum_96 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I can't see Madness playing underneath Noel considering they are headlining Kendal Calling together, I still think Richard Ashcroft is the best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanz25 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Lots questioning on Twitter and one or two on the forums if Catfish are gonna play reading. Potentially deems plausible that could stop them doing Victorious. Although not added this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they will do Reading this year, they could be in line for a sub slot next year though, Wembley Arena Standing at least on Seetickets is sold out and the majority of Lower Seating.

luckysalt Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Having seen a new poster for Victorious I seriously doubt Echo and the Bunnymen are subbing or even third. It was laid out like this NOEL - MARK RONSON - MANICS - ANNIE MAC TRAVIS - EDITORS - WILL YOUNG - BOOMTOWN RATS WOLFMOTHER - THE CORAL - LEVELLERS - WRETCH 32 ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - MANY MORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you've said would make sense given there are 10 bands listed for the main stage Saturday and only 7 on the Sunday, so another couple would even it up a bit.

the wonderwhy Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) One more slot left main stage Sunday then. Either someone playing Portsmouth area (Madness) will slot in or they're giving Noel a longer set...

Flaminglippy Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Just added loads more bands (mainly on smaller stages). Slow Readers Club, Southsea Alternative Choir (very entertaining last year) and Kassassin Street. Also Fleetwood Mac and Madness tribute bands. Loads of others Edited June 16, 2016 by Flaminglippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, real shame that Sundays main stage has such a weak undercard compared to Saturday, think i'll do a lot of wondering around the site that day.

luckysalt Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Also doubt we are getting Madness if theres a Madness tribute act playing. Which there is. The same time as Noel. Also see a Fleetwood Mac tribute playing too, we didn't have tribute acts last year did we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't work out why they haven't been announced. We had Bog Rolling Stones last year at least, so its not a new thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckysalt Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Maybe its someone who is quite a big name which is why the rest of Sunday is quite weak and they are holding it back until the ticket prices go to max price. Only reason I can imagine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy101 Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I think it's more likely to be in keeping with the rest of the line up than a small name because they have blown their budget on the existing acts. Kassassin Street are a local band worth checking out by the way. Seen them a few times at local events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
