Victorious Festival Complete Line Up
Having previously revealed The Libertines and Kaiser Chiefs at the top of the bill for Friday night, Victorious Festival, the UK’s biggest metropolitan festival is proud to announce its huge Saturday and Sunday headliners, electronic pioneers The Prodigy (Sunday) and rock legend Paul Weller (Saturday).
Topping the bill with a UK festival exclusive is one of the most exhilarating, influential and chaotic electronic bands of the past 20 years – The Prodigy. Following six no.1 albums and jaw-dropping live performances across the world, the original masters of big beat remain one of the most successful electronic acts of all time. This live show at Victorious 2018 will surely prove to be an unparalleled festival finale.
Headlining Saturday night is singer, songwriter, musician and household name Paul Weller. Following widespread critical acclaim for his 13th studio album ‘A Kind Revolution’, the former Jam and Style Council frontman, who promises to “push the boundaries” with his latest music, will be crafting an unforgettable set blending new material with old favourites. Guaranteed to be a festival highlight!
Fresh from enjoying the success of her Number 1 hit album ‘The Architect’ at the end of 2017, double platinum-selling singer-songwriter, Paloma Faith will also be gracing the stage on Saturday. Known for her retro-soul sound and eccentric style, Faith’s chart topping hits are as unique as they are infectious and her dynamic live show is sure to ignite the Victorious party.
Following a lengthy five-year hiatus and promising to “herald in a new era”, indie rockers Friendly Fires will bring their brand of indie-dance to the stage on Sunday night with an incendiary live performance showcasing brand new tracks.
Also topping the bill on Sunday and headlining the Castle Stage is London-based electro-pop trio, Years & Years. With eager media anticipation for their second studio album, the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, ‘Communion’, the three-piece will be delivering an energetic set fusing old hits and new material. It will certainly not be a show to miss.
Other confirmed acts include Madchester veterans, Happy Mondays, infectious art-rockers Everything Everything, rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer Example, Mercury-award winning indie rock band, Gomez, The Amazons, Embrace, Gaz Coombes, Billy Bragg, Pigeon Detectives, The Bluetones and Sleeper.
