Victorious Festival 2023 Discussion

[luckysalt]

If tickets have already sold strong enough I think they'll just go for a weak headliner now, 2 that are possible and never done it before who would fit with the undercard are The Script and Snow Patrol. 

I can't stress this enough as people think they're holding the name back. 

They aren't. They don't have anyone booked.

Like I said previous page I think someone fell through and then they've been trying to get Pulp. But it ain't happening.

The Walkmen announced for Green Man Festival the week before. I'd like them to show up on the weekend.

I think the original plan was Noel Gallagher. There was clearly a bit of confusion over his Irish date perhaps Victorious thought they had him but they didn’t.

Zero chance of Pulp. They are playing Festival Republic festivals this year so no way they’d be allowed to play a Superstruct one.

Florence is possible but I think she’s most likely to play APE. Jamie T is a possible but that would be so underwhelming and I’m a fan.

The 1975 would be a good grab for them but I think the most likely answer    is The Prodigy. They’re an act known to the Festival, are about and are available. Delay in announcing maybe something to do with having to let the Essex Festival announce first.

would settle for flo.seen twice and very enjoyable.

Snow Patrol would fit in with my "gies a singalong at a festival" criteria so I'd be happy enough.

Just give us Liam after his wee tease, with Ashcroft subbing on the Sunday.  That’d do the job!

Someone mentioned Tom Jones earlier. For me if he played Victorious he’d be the afternoon special guest.  
 

With regards the poster, surely we have a good few more names to add? Given Friday is a full day, rather than just single stage for the evening?  Would love to see Chris Helme added with dodgy, they’ve been doing a few shows together and Chris on the acoustic stage banging out some seahorses classics is what victorious is all about for me

With We Are Scientists on a few of this lots' festivals, I'd quite like to see them put in there.

they were last year so no chnace on that one.

[Jack01825]

With Margate about to announce and having talked about female headliners.......Chaka Khan!?

[DomDom1984]

Not seeing her as a headliner at all, although potentially a very fun addition all the same.

[FxxxItFlowers]

unlikely but Slowdive are about now aswell

[FestivalJamie]

Could it be Lorde? She’s doing a Europe tour and just starting to announce the dates now

[Mr Carbohydrate]

I just had a thought about Garbage… they’d tick all the boxes for victorious headliner.  On tour in the US with Noel Gallagher as support 😮 tour finishes up mid July so always potential for uk tour later in the summer, squeezing in Sunday headliner a lot.  Not very likely I know…

Mumford and Sons at Mad Cool - could be them surely?

in the usa

[Musemonster]

This is just for fun. Watched Saturday Night Takeaway - Tom Grennan for the Sunday headliner? Jamiroquai and the Virtual Insanity clue?!

Obviously this is someone's else opinion and already I can see mistakes

What are we all thinking

Has anyone who's been previously travelled from Southampton? Looking at trains they seem to finish before the festival ends so seems the only way is the big green coach which seems pretty extortionate for such a short journey. Any other ways to get there/ back?

[s30foster]

Placebo playing Rock En Seine on the Friday night. They could pop along for a headline show

I think Newton Faulkner will headline Acoustic Stage and they already said Annie Mac on Castle, so wondering who could headline beats that night.

I think your only option is lifts or the green bus unless you have friends in Pompey x

ELO

[sisco]

I’m guessing HAIM are too small?

[s30foster]

Finally bought my tickets last night and booked accommodation at Greetham Street Uni Halls. Looking forward to a full weekend at Victorious rather than the odd day i've been doing over the years.

'Mumford and Sons' Sunday night headliner...the person who suggested the headliner would be 'garbage' got closest.
