Max SteventonPortsmouth’s Victorious Festival, owned by Superstruct Entertainment, donated an annual record £173,484 to charities in 2025, taking its charitable contributions to over £926,000 since 2014.
The funding supports organisations advocating for mental health, accessibility, wellbeing and grassroots sports, among others. Recipients include British Red Cross Gaza Appeal, Tonic Music for Mental Health, Read Easy, George’s Rockstars and Arms Around The Child.
Victorious has also supported the festival’s local area. Victorious’ food waste initiative, whereby volunteers collect surplus food from across the site to redistribute to local communities and charities, provided over 500 nutritious meals to local residents. The initiative is a partnership between Victorious’ in-house concessions team, the Portsmouth & Southsea Food Support Network, and Friday Fridge leader Jim Campbell BEM.
Victorious has played an active role in supporting a number of cultural initiatives across the Portsmouth area. The festival has supported Portsmouth Creates, which improves access to art in the city, and Portsmouth Pride.
This year’s Victorious Festival (cap.80,000) will take place from 28-30 August at The Common and Castlefield sites in South Sea. Headliners include Richard Ashcroft, The Black Keys and Kasabian.
George’s Rockstars founder Amy O’Shaughnessy said, “Victorious Festival’s support is genuinely life-changing for the children we work with. Music can lift spirits, reduce anxiety and help children express emotions they can’t put into words. This partnership is a powerful commitment to using music to change lives.”
