Victorious 2021

[sisco]

I even took a punt and booked a hotel (doesn’t need to be paid until a few days prior to the event).  Not cheap but I couldn’t bear the thought of a long ish coach ride back to the campsite 

Hopefully we get some announcements soon.

My first concert is booked for April - think that's 50:50, then one in June then Victorious. I'm hoping that June should be fine - but I do think Victorious has a viable shot of going ahead now.

Feeling optimistic!

After my previous post of feeling optimistic, I’ll now be absolutely amazed if it goes ahead.

That's where I'm at. I desperately want something to look forward to but again, amazed if it did ago ahead. I was reading an article this month saying most festivals need to make a decision 6 months in advance, so I'm assuming they'll be a decision made this month.

There is a flip side in that smaller festivals from mid season onwards I've heard saying they can decide up to a couple of months out. Victorious these days is a big festival capacity wise which may count against it

So I’m back to feeling optimistic this will be happening.  Was made up of mostly U.K. acts so don’t expect too much change at all.  

[KBR1991]

Completely agree Sisco, I am very optimistic. I would be surprised if it didn’t now. My fingers are crossed.

With Reading and Leeds now proceeding, I would be surprised if this didn't happen. Lets just hope the line up is worth the wait

It’s was a very U.K. based lineup last time, wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a similar one this time

It was, don’t imagine it’s going to change much at all. Never know headliners may not change at all. Could change brown for me, saw roses at Wembley couple years ago and he’s done haha. Nontheless screamin I wanna be adored top of my lungs hammered after all this shit is appealing.

Anyone got any lineup predictions, saw that tweet by Ian Brown which wasn't brilliant.

Personally hoping for The Streets and Royal Blood to be back with someone replacing Ian Brown.   With The Streets being announced for NASS in July and Royal Blood having new material then I’m hopeful they’ll happen... oh and with Ian Brown being a knob I’m hopeful he’ll be changed too

I'm hoping for the above too. Would be nice to put Richard Ashcroft in place of Ian brown, new material on its way I believe too.

That would be quality!!!

When Chic rescheduled their tour, they had Sunday as a Victorious date which was removed so it looks like they'll be coming back. I can imagine their won't be a lot of movement in terms of headliners with the exception of maybe Ian Brown dropping out.

"I will NEVER sing to a crowd who must be vaccinated as a condition of attendance. NEVER EVER!"

 

"To all festival promoters: Please do not collaborate with SAGE/ GOVT re vaccine passports for entry. Dont help to usher in the new nazi normal"

 

Couple more over last 2 days. His opinion, free speech and all that but not one I would personally support haha.

Complete speculation here but I wouldn't be shocked if he has similar views to Ian brown. Maybe just being more sensible and not saying it- he's always been very anti establishment. I don't think covering a john Lennon song with "free the people" as the chorus does anything to disprove that theory either 

I don't care what his beliefs are, I just hope he doesn't say something stupid in his comeback interviews and get cancelled...

He doesn't want to play at a festival, where you are forced to have the vaccine to get in basically.

Each to there own, at least he is standing up to what he believes. Not enough of it nowadays.

I would be surprised if James are big enough to headline victorious.  

Although this year might be a case of lowering your expectations a bit.
