Victorious Festival have added a new name to its bill for 2020: Manic Street Preachers will be headlining proceedings alongside some big previously-announced names.

The Streets, Ian Brown, Peter Hook & The Light, Nile Rodgers & CHIC and Royal Blood are all also headlining the Southsea knees-up this summer.

The addition of Manic Street Preachers is a big step for the fest, as the Welsh rockers always bring a huge live show. Live last May, Gigwise noted that "these guys are masters of working up a set" and consistently prove they're "in no danger of fading out just yet".

Festival Director Andy Marsh said of the announcement: "We are thrilled to add The Manics to the line up. They have an amazing back-catalogue...plus they’re incredible live."

Victorious Festival attendees will also be able to see Feeder, Johnny Marr, Miles Kane, DJ Fresh, Eve and Wild Front. 

"Going into our ninth year, we really tried to raise the bar," Marsh said, "we're convinced this is going to be our best year yet!"

Victorious Festival takes place in venues across Southsea in Portsmouth on 28-30 August. Early Bird tickets are on sale now here.
