Victorious Festival have announced the finalists for the 'Road to Victorious' competition

Road to Victorious Festival voting is now open - and you can win tickets to the festival by voting!

The competition gives one artist in Portsmouth an opportunity to perform at festivals around the UK and a whole lot more.

A panel of festival experts have shortlisted Arcade Hearts, Bella Estelle, Crystal Tides, Fast Trains, and Rose's Diary, who now face a public vote for their chance to win.

The band with the most votes will be provided with a series of exciting experiences to help them on their music journey, beginning with recording a single, video session and leading up to a string of festival slots. Starting in Oxfordshire at Truck Festival, then on to Sheffield for Tramlines! The following weekend takes in Kendal Calling and will finish with a grand finale at Victorious Festival.

The chosen band will hit the road in a 16-berth sleeper bus, complete with a full crew including a tour manager, front-of-house sound, stage manager and documentary filmmaker/photographer. There will even be pre-gig rehearsal time courtesy of Casemates Studios in Portsmouth!

Finally, the chosen band will be given the opportunity to discuss and develop future band plans during one-to-one sessions with industry experts Dave Cronen (Trust Management – Johnny Marr/Beastie Boys/We Are Scientists/ The Bug Club) and Tristan Ivemy (Record Producer, Mixer, Composer – Lottery Winners/Frank Turner/The Holloways)

Voting has now opened and if you vote you could be winning tickets to Victorious Festival 2023! Voting closes on Thursday 6th April.
