Music-lovers who fancy a sense of history alongside their favourite bands will be able to soak up the atmosphere in the shadow of Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory in a Hampshire music festival this summer.

The Victorious Festival is returning for the second year at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard with Maximo Park, Level 42, Katy B, Charlotte Church, The Cribs and Reef among the line-up which ranges from alternative and indie bands to popular DJs such as DJ Yoda.

But away from the main stages, visitors will be able to tour the newly-opened Mary Rose Museum and step aboard HMS Victory, the world’s oldest-commissioned warship. The Victorious Festival is at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, on August 24 and 25.
