Portsmouth's Express FM is the only place to hear a whopping 24 hours of live radio coverage of Southsea's biggest music and entertainment festival.
After two hours of build-up with Paul Marsh from 10am on Friday, with tunes from this year's line-up and those who've played in previous years, we'll be continuing this musical theme throughout the weekend as part of EIGHT live shows from some of your favourite Express FM presenters.
We'll bring you a whole host of interviews with performing artists as well as local charities, traders and festival-goers alike. As much as we'll be welcoming hundreds of visitors to our city this weekend, it's likely you'll hear some renowned Pompey characters - or even your next-door neighbour - popping up on Express FM.
All our Victorious 2024 programming will be available via catch-up on the Express FM website / app, and a special highlights show on bank holiday Monday will reflect on the best bits.
