LISTEN: Live from Victorious Festival 2025

Saturday, 23 August 2025 12:03

Express FM was proud to once again be part of Victorious Festival, bringing the sounds and stories of Portsmouth’s biggest music event to our listeners across the city.

Across the weekend, we broadcast live from Southsea Common, capturing the atmosphere of the festival and speaking with artists, traders, community groups, volunteers, and festivalgoers.

From the main stage highlights to hidden gems around the site, our coverage reflected the true spirit of Portsmouth’s music and cultural scene.

Visitors to the Express FM gazebo got involved in fun activities, including our Spin To Win music quiz and the chance to become a guest weather presenter. We loved seeing so many people step up to the mic and get involved in the fun, with lots of Express FM merchandise (hats, bottles, key rings, stickers and notepads) and prizes to be given away including family tickets to local pantomimes.

We’re delighted to announce our winners:
• Kerry Hicks, who won a family ticket to Aladdin, the Pompey Panto, at the Kings Theatre
• Rory Jones, who won a family ticket to Snow White at the New Theatre Royal

You can listen again to our coverage below and relive the magic of Victorious Festival 2025.

Express FM Content Manager Harrison RB said: “Victorious Festival is always the best weekend of the year, and it was so good to share it with you. Whether you came and said hi at the gazebo, played our quiz, picked up some of our merch, or just tuned in from home - thank you for being part of it. You made the weekend what it was, and I can’t wait to do it all again next year.”
