Ian Brown has been revealed as the first headliner for next year’s Victorious Festival.
It adds to the Stone Roses frontman’s solo headline for Neighbourhood Weekender in 2020, and The Kooks, Peter Hook & The Light and Terrorvision have been confirmed to be joining him between August 28th-30th.
“We’re delighted to announce the first wave of artists as a sneak peek of what we’ve got in store for next year,” festival director Andy Marsh comments. “We’re positive 2020 will be our best line- up to date and we can’t wait to announce the rest of the bill.”
Brown is heading out on the festival circuit after releasing his Ripples solo album earlier this year, one with ‘crystal clear direction and a consistency that never compromises’ according to Live4ever’s review.
“Recorded in Liverpool with finishing touches at Abbey Road, Brown took complete control of every aspect, on production, video direction, artwork design, writing, musicianship – in both concrete and abstract terms, there’s a strong voice throughout.”
