Isle of Wight bands and singers at Victorious Festival

Rock band, The Optimists, and singer-songwriter, Beth Brookfield, have been announced, alongside a plethora of local and upcoming artists from the Isle of Wight and Hampshire.

The Optimists, who draw influences from the 1990s Britpop sound, will perform on Friday, August 23.

Beth Brookfield, who has returned to playing live after a short hiatus, will take to the stage the following day.

Both are Platform One alumni who, in previous years, have won the Wight Noize competition and performed on Isle of Wight Festival's main stage.

On Instagram, The Optimists said: "We cannot wait to be playing Victorious Festival this year, at the Introducing stage, on August 23 at 3.30pm.

"Get ya tickets and come down and see us, we’ll see ya there."

Beth, meanwhile, said it has been a dream of hers for years to perform at Victorious. 

Victorious Festival will be headlined by Fatboy Slim, Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro and Massachusetts rock band, Pixies.

Fellow Islanders, Wet Leg, will headline the Castle Stage on Sunday, August 26, on the same day as Becky Hill, James Bay and stand-up comedian, Al Murray.
