Now one of the UK’s biggest city festivals, Victorious Festival returns to Southsea Common over the August Bank Holiday weekend (28–30 August), marking 15 years since the event first began in Portsmouth in 2011. Set on the seafront overlooking the Solent, Victorious has built a reputation for combining big-name live music with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Musically, the festival offers an eclectic mix of indie, rock, pop and dance, with a particular strength in established acts from the ’90s and ’00s alongside newer artists. The Black Keys, meanwhile, bring their Peaches ’n Kream World Tour ’26 to the UK following the release of their latest album, Peaches, in May. Kasabian will close the festival on Sunday ahead of their UK arena tour later in the year.
