Pretty sure the original post didn't have the word 'guess' in it. Therefore, as it read like a statement of fact, it led me to believe that New Order would be appearing. So.................as i quite like New Order..............  I got slightly fucked off when it turned out to be horseshit.

It might not be LOL

J you seem to be some sort of all knowing festival oracle. You obviously know something...

C’mon spill the beans ?

Ha. I share as much info as I can. Most of the time I can't share anymore than what I've already posted or simply dont have it.

Gutted there was no announcement. Ynot lineup doesn’t seem to bing going down too well. Looking across global festival line ups, there isn’t anyone other than foals that would be big enough I think to headline victorious. Must surely have something up their sleeve.

Im beginning to think it might be Catfish, with their second batch of arena dates going onsale last week and selling out, and their current arena dates this month, would be reason enough to have the Victorious announcement later in the month than usual. 

There literally is no-one else pushing a tour or finishing a tour at the moment apart from them it could be.

The other reason is of course, Global wanted to shift tickets for their other fests and have the focus on them and the focus on Victorious next week.

It is a step away from the normal formula of Victorious but I guess if they have a chance to have Catfish this year whilst they are selling out so many arena's [lets face it standing is all they care about, what do you do at a fest, stand, so they won't be too concerned seating isn't selling out] they're gunna go for it. Next year they will probably be headlining Reading if they maintain popularity. 

I was oblivious to how big they had gotten before I'll admit. 

This all could be just bollocks, just thinking out aloud.

It doesn't have to be all based around tours remember. Ray Davies certainly wasn't touring when he headlined!

I know its a bigger festival there now but i am excited. I am not sure on catfish i think new order and chemical brothers fit the festival well. 

Personally i'd love to see Wolf Alice there - move with the times and all that but unfortunately that's not going to happen

It's certainly a shout given they are at Sziget and there is going to come a poi y where they need more than just an older nastolgia act to work for them.

I don't know if they'll outright headline Reading but I defo think they'll be in the co-headline. For me it'll be Stormzy, Liam and Catfish on their own or with another.

Hope it's not Chems, they've always been poor when open air at festivals, they suit tents much better. Prodigy can pull it off no problem but Chems really struggle to create an atmosphere. No tents at victorious big enough either for them. I'd love New Order but they couldn't headline Sat or Sunday.

Catfish are a weird one... On the one hand it would kind of make sense. Global seem to have a selection of headliners that they swap from festival to festival and they're usually in the mix. Victorious is one of the few festivals they haven’t done so it wouldn’t be all that surprising if they ended up doing it. 

But then on the other hand it would be quite a change from the usual formula... I guess they do have more current acts in the undercards at times, but the headliners on the whole seem to follow a pattern. The  Prodigy were a bit of a curveball in terms of genre last year, but it still fit with the pattern. It’s a tough one to call! 

In recent years Victorious has shared a headliner with Y Not, so I expected a clue in their announcement last night but now that’s thrown me too! Don’t see Elbow coming back, I’d be surprised to see Foals there for the same reason as Catfish and I really don’t see Two door headlining a 65k festival.

I’m stumped!

Chems smashed the Other stage at Glastonbury on a Sunday night a couple years back. I'd be delighted if they ever played Victorious.

Was a long time ago I saw them outdoor, remember at TITP 2002 the atmosphere was dead. I saw them in a tent at V in around 2008? And it was much better. I just feel acts like that work better in tents. Wouldnt be the worst thing if they headlined, when basement jaxx did victorious 2015 they were class.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
