Victorious Festival 2024: Seaside Stage returns after 'brief hiatus' due to Southsea Coastal Scheme

Located on the edge of the waterfront, the Seaside Stage is a popular area within the festival - and it will be returning this year. The stage failed to appear at the event last year because of the Southsea Coastal Scheme which has ransformed the seafront. The scheme is investing millions of pounds into improving the seafront for future generations and protecting the community helping to reduce the risk of flooding.

The team have been given the go-ahead to bring back the stage and it has gone down a treat. The stage will welcome performances from Dub FX, Woody Cook, Mr. C, Elephant Kind, The Beatles Dub Club and Professor Green.

The music event is spread across three days, August 23, 24 and 25, and there is a fantastic lineup of world class musicians performing across a range of stages including Castle Stage and Common Stage. Some of the acts will includes include performances from the likes of  Fatboy Slim, Snow Patrol, Jess Glyne, Becky Hill, Wet Leg, Louis Tomlinson, Razorlight, The Kooks, Tom Walker and much more.

Victorious Festival will extend the festival’s comedy offering with a trio of award-winning comedians: Russell Howard, Frankie Boyle and Al Murray as well as a range of well known comedians taking to the stage in the comedy tent.

Described as a ‘mini festival in itself’, Victorious’ Kids Arena will be packed with children’s entertainment throughout the weekend including  TV presenter Katy Ashworth who will take to the stage on Friday for the ultimate disco party. There will be dance classes from Jiggy Wrigglers and the Marie Clarke School of Dance as well as a mesmerising magic show from Ross Presto. There will also be a range of food to tuck in as the festival showcases local and independent businesses across Hampshire that are known for serving up tasty treats. The main food strip will be in ‘Street Food Way’ - but there is a brilliant list of places you can get a snack or two.
