The Libertines have been signed up for next year’s Victorious Festival, which is due to be held at the Southsea Seafront in Portsmouth between August 24th-26th.
Also playing the opening night are Shed Seven, Kaiser Chiefs and The Lightning Seeds – festival director Andy Marsh has said:
“Our Friday night opening party was such a hit last year it made sense to do it again but make it even better. We’ve gone for a solid line-up of absolute indie legends, it’s going to be a brilliant night and with tickets from just £25 you’d be mad to miss it!”
“We’re going to announce the full weekend bill very shortly – and it’s going to be spectacular – but we couldn’t wait to reveal Friday, it’s going to be some party!”
On December 14th, The Libertines will play the Blackpool Empress Ballroom after a gig at the venue in September was postponed because of ‘essential maintenance work’.
