About

Victorious Festival 2021 is on! Once again, the biggest names in music head to Southsea Common for an August Bank Holiday celebration.

This year's line up is taking shape, with headliners The Streets and Royal Blood returning, alongside a host of other top acts and up-and-coming bands.

Friday will see Madness make their return to the festival, having also played the opening night in 2017. The nutty boys drew a huge and passionate crowd then, and are sure to do the same again in 2021. They'll be joined on the night by The Kooks, Feeder, Peter Hook & The Light, and Terrorvision.

There are huge names lined up for the Saturday, with The Streets headlining the Common Stage. They're joined on the bill by ex-Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft, as well as Rag'n'Bone Man, Blossoms and Morcheeba. The Afternoon Special Guest slot is taken this year by Craig David, bringing his TS5 to start the party.

Procedings are drawn to a close on the Sunday by rock and roll heavyweights Royal Blood. Before them there will be sets by Supergrass, Fontaines DC, Miles Kane, Melanie C and a whole load more - including Frank Turner making his return to the Afternoon Special Guest slot. Over on the Castle Stage there's a party with Nile Rodgers & Chic, whilst elsewhere on the line up you'll find Annie Mac, Ella Eyre and Clean Bandit (playing a DJ set).

Check out the website for the full line up, with many more big names still to come.

2021 will see the return of off-site camping at Farlington Fields, where campers can avail themselves of free and regular shuttle buses heading out and back to the main festival site quickly and efficiently.
