Victorious Festival promises Richard Ashcroft and Kasabian for 2026
The iconic waterfront city of Portsmouth once again proves home to a pantheon of legendary indie names as the festival enters its 14th year.
South England’s biggest and best celebration of live music is back for another massive year. Victorious Festival, which saw its inaugural line-up in 2012, will once again take centre stage as the hub for all things live music. This year’s line-up sees headliners Richard Ashcroft, The Black Keys and Kasabian take to the Common Stage, while musical touchstones like the Scissor Sisters, Faithless, The Vaccines, Bastille and The Streets deliver delectable indie sets against the backdrop of the sunkissed sea.
Held from 28th to 30th August, Victorious Festival 2026 boasts over 13 stages and a wealth of talent including live art, comedy, workshops, and definitive concerts. Shaped over fourteen years and boasting the royalty of pop/rock year after year, Victorious is Hampshire’s answer to the previously untouchable: Glastonbury, Download and Reading + Leeds. The festival might be held on Portsmouth’s tranquil waterfront, but its power far outreaches the city limits.
