Isle of Wight global superstars Wet Leg have been announced alongside a flurry of high-profile acts for next summer's Victorious Festival in Southsea.
The Grammy award-winning and British Mercury Music Prize-nominated Island icons will join Sunday’s bill following huge success since their debut single Chaise Longue was released in 2021.
They will be joined on Sunday's line-up by anthemic headliners Biffy Clyro.
Last week, eagle-eyed festival goers spotted the iconic Victorious sign which had appeared on Southsea seafront with the words ‘Praise You’, a teasing nod to Friday’s headliner — the incredible Fatboy Slim.
One of the most successful dance artists of all time, the Grammy and Brit award-winning DJ and producer will bring one of the most memorable Friday night opening parties packed full of hits including Praise You, Right Here Right Now and Rockafeller Skank to the Common Stage at Victorious festival.
Snow Patrol return to the festival circuit as the second headliner for Friday evening with more than 20 years of hits including the unforgettable hit singles Chasing Cars and Run.
The hugely popular singer-songwriter and rapper Jamie T is topping Saturday evening's bill.
The South London star will entertain the thousands with his recognisable fast-paced lyrical flows and stand-out hits including Sticks ’N’ Stones, Shelia, Zombie and If You Got The Money.
Joining the headliners is an incredible bill of artists spanning genres, from new emerging talent to award-winning bands, there is something for everyone at Victorious 2024.
Dance-pop queen Becky Hill will descend on the Common Stage with a set jam-packed full of hits including Remember and Crazy What Love Can Do.
