One of those bands I've never intentionally gone to see, but always happy to see them crop up on the bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Alien Weaponry stole the show for me, absolutely amazing performance and so much energy in the crowd. Gojira were a bit milder after that, but they do put on a pretty good theatrical show - their music lends itself less to a lively floor, yet I still somehow lost a shoe and had to take refuge in the seats for the last half hour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you had fun. Did you catch Employed To Serve as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! I've seen the clips from their shows last year and they sounded great. Best Cedric has sounded for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Tickets to another bucket-lister acquired... Between this and The Mars Volta, I can now breathe a sigh of relief that skipping ArcTanGent this year has turned out to be the right call. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Didn't go last year but I've took the family to Victorious festival a few times as its really good for young kids. Only do the Sunday and this year we're even in the holiday inn on Southsea Common so perfect location. The Sunday is a shocking lineup for me at least. It is more about the girls but still I'd like to have looked forward to some acts. There's a few ok but compared with the other 2 days it's a bit disappointing, Oh well.

There are only two acts (poss 3) on that entire bill that I'd pay money to see these days. Sure I'd watch The Charlatans and the Inspirals, maybe even have a glance at Johnny Marr and a few other bands too but only Shame and Billy Nomates would I pay to see in their own right. Thats an awful line-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh i agree on the lineup as a whole and wouldn't be one to choose because of the line up certainly the headliners. There's enough there to see even if just for nostalgia. Especially as some of the time will be away from the music in the kids area, splash pad etc as well as meeting up with an old mate and his family. Just a shame I actually have a hotel a short walk away and no need to leave a bit early to get a taxi this time. The youngest will only be just 6 so she might not make it anyway. So looks like I might be the one to leave early while Mrs and other daughter watch one of the stage headliners. I just hope the weather is good. It used to be quite cheap too, still is for kids but day ticket adult tickets are now nearly twice the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 That reeks of middle aged man at festival with his mates and their partners. Its Vfestival in all but name. I think my wife likes Sigrid and I have seen a fair the other acts over the years, but that as festivals go is very uninspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my wife likes Sigrid and I have seen a fair the other acts over the years, but that as festivals go is very uninspiring. I've done Sundays on 2 previous years and seeing lineups before that. They do somewhat have some nostalgia acts from 90s and now edging into the 2000s. Although you don't really get the middle aged man vibe when you're there. In defence of bookers its probably quite a hard to get a family festival lineup spot on. Even just for my circumstances. I doubt I'd go to a festival with my Mrs as I'd have no interest in what she would want to go to, which would probably piss her off as I would not see her the whole time then there is the kids who I do get to listen to some of my music but they're 5 and 10 so it's pretty mainstream although the eldest is starting to develop her own taste. The worst area was where they have some DJ's as I did feel a bit old there and lots were dressed for a night out and on the sniff. That bit was a bit less family friendly. Although a nice set up in Southsea Castle. In fact the whole set up and location is pretty good if not let down a bit on the lineup which it will get judged on. At least if Sunday isn't popular the queues at the bar will be short. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
