Crowds have been enjoying a fantastic start to Victorious Festival as the weekend music extravaganza begins.

Early birds were able to watch the first act to step on the Common Stage with Brighton band HotWax getting the festival going.

Families also headed to the Kid’s Arena where there were activities galore to keep the little ones entertained.
