The Common Stage is one of the main focal points of the festival, located on Southsea common. The stage is notorious for playing host to incredible high profile acts with stellar production. Previous years have seen The Prodigy, Paul Weller, Stereophonics, Elbow, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds & The Flaming Lips grace the stage.
The Castle Stage sits adjacent to Southsea Castle – a stunning historical landmark belonging to Henry VIII, built in 1544! An incredible arena, perfect for watching your favourite artists.
Along with the iconic ‘Victorious letters’ create a superb backdrop and a great opportunity for a festival selfie.
