Victorious Festival 2025: Friday, 22 to Sunday, 24 August

Victorious Festival is bringing the party back to Portsmouth once again!

One of the most picturesque festivals in the UK, sitting right on the seafront at Southsea Common, the three-day extravaganza is returning for its 12th year in 2025.

The 2025 lineup has now dropped, with headliners such as Queens of the Stone Age, Vampire Weekend and Kings of Leon, it’s going to be a year to remember.

Tickets for Victorious Festival are now on sale, with the option of spreading the cost of your purchase across the year.

Victorious Festival 2025 lineup

The first 2025 lineup announcement is here, with a mix of Victorious Festival first-timers and some fan favourites returning to Portsmouth. There will be afternoon special guest performances from The Charlatans, Rizzle Kicks and Craig David as well as comedy sets from the likes of Joel Dommett and Ruby Wax.

Check out the full lineup, broken down by day, below. And make sure to check back again in the new year, as there are often more waves of acts announced.

Getting there from the Isle of Wight

If you’re heading over to the festival from the Island, hop on our FastCat from Ryde or our vehicle ferry from Fishbourne. Both will take you into Portsmouth, only minutes from the festival site.

There are four entrances to the site but your closest is likely to be the Clarence Esplanade – use PO5 3PB on your mobile phone for directions.

Victorious pride themselves on being a green festival and so no on-site parking is available, though there are lots of parking areas around the city.

Beyond the music

Come for the music, stay for the grub. There’s a whole lot more going on at Victorious than what’s on the main stage, from an array of stalls selling delicious, locally-sourced food to the Kids Arena, home to arts and crafts and circus skills lessons for the little ones.

The festival has also become famous for its comedy tent, with some of the UK’s biggest comedians visiting the south coast over the years. In 2024, Russel Howard and Frankie Boyle headlined.
