Nothing says summer in Portsmouth quite like Victorious. Returning to Southsea Seafront over August Bank Holiday weekend from Fri 28 to Sun 30 August, the much-loved festival is back with another huge line-up, family entertainment and plenty to keep all ages happy from morning until night.
For families, the Kids Arena is a real highlight. Packed with live shows, interactive activities, workshops and entertainment throughout the weekend, it's a festival within a festival. Little ones can get stuck into arts and crafts, games, storytelling and much more, while parents can relax knowing there's plenty to keep them busy. Family facilities, including baby changing and feeding areas, are available on site too.
And then there's the music. Victorious 2026 brings some seriously big names to Southsea, with Richard Ashcroft, The Black Keys and Kasabian topping the bill. They're joined by favourites including Scissor Sisters, Bastille, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Faithless, The Streets, Basement Jaxx and Jessie J.
Add in great food, fairground rides, sea views and that unbeatable festival atmosphere, and it's easy to see why Victorious has become one of the highlights of the South Coast summer. Whether you're bringing the kids for the day or making a weekend of it, there's plenty to look forward to at Victorious 2026.
