Paolo Nutini and Sam Fender announced as headline acts for Victorious festival

Scots singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini and Sam Fender have been announced as headliners for the Victorious Festival in Hampshire.

Iron Sky singer Paolo is joining previously announced headlining act the Stereophonics at the Southsea event between August 26 and 28.

The 35-year-old has been on hiatus since 2016 after a sold out show at Bellahouston Park but is set to make his highly anticipated return to the stage at TRNSMT later this summer.

Scottish rock veterans Primal Scream are also on the star studded line-up, as well as indie rockers The Libertines featuring frontmen Carl Barat and Pete Doherty.

Other seasoned acts added include Ocean Colour Scene, indie rockers Editors and singer Scottish songwriter Amy Macdonald.

Festival director Andy Marsh said: "We can't wait for this year's festival - we built the excitement with our first wave of artists and we're thrilled to be able to announce even more amazing acts for 2022.

"Stay tuned as we've got even more acts to announce between now and the festival."

The event organisers have also expanded the comedy acts which will this year include Katherine Ryan, Joel Dommett, Russell Kane and Milton Jones.

Previously announced acts across the weekend are James, Liverpudlian three-piece The Wombats, singer-songwriter Declan McKenna, Sugababes, alt-rockers Nothing But Thieves, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, experimental pop project Self Esteem and New York indie trio We Are Scientists.

Victorious Festival runs from August 26 to 28 on Southsea Common.
