Victorious Festival 2022 | 23 of the best pictures from the first day on Southsea Common

IT was a fantastic first day at Victorious Festival, with Stereophonics wrapping up a great day of music.

James, Bombay Bicycle Club and Anna Calvi thrilled the crowds who packed out Southsea Common.

And Primal Scream got proceedings off to a high-energy start with their hit-packed set.

There was also entertainment in The World Music Village, with The People’s Lounge.

And the new Neighbourhood Eats area, specifically for local food traders was proving popular.
