Queens of the Stone Age, Kings of Leon, and Vampire Weekend to headline Victorious Festival 2025
The Portsmouth weekender will also welcome the likes of Michael Kiwanuka, The Last Dinner Party, and Bloc Party.
Next year’s edition of Victorious Festival is set to be one dominated by rock royalty, with Kings Of Leon, Queens of the Stone Age, and Vampire Weekend having been confirmed as 2025 headliners.
Also among those due to take to the stage on the South coast next Summer are contemporary soul favourite Michael Kiwanuka, theatrical art-rock breakout stars The Last Dinner Party, and ’00s indie stalwarts Bloc Party, while classic outfits like Madness, Travis, and The Charlatans will be appearing at the Portsmouth bank holiday weekender too. And if DJ sets are more your bag, never fear - Spice Girl Melanie C, The Streets’ Mike Skinner, and Craig David have all got you covered!
Taking place from 22nd-24th August on the Southsea seafront, Victorious 2025 is shaping up to be the UK’s biggest metropolitan festival. You can find out more and get tickets here, and check out the full lineup so far below.
