🎸 Fugitive Orchestra is coming to The Piano Tree at Victorious Festival 2026!

Portsmouth’s own one-man orchestra, James Tattington (aka Fugitive Orchestra), brings his signature blend of beatboxing, live-looping and guitar to the stage curated by Portsmouth Music Academy.
Think funky, jazz-infused, bluesy hip-pop with heartfelt (and often politically sharp) lyrics, drawing inspiration from the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Andrew Bird, Talking Heads, St. Vincent, Paul Simon, Kate Bush and the Blue Nile. Expect an unforgettable live show full of energy, grooves and a dose of optimism.

He’s previously supported acts like The Howl & The Hum, Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer and The Petebox, and shared a stage with Wheatus at the Isle of Wight Festival. Now he’s bringing that same magic to Southsea Common.

Catch him at The Piano Tree this August Bank Holiday weekend, don’t miss it!

🎹 Catch Olly Hite at Victorious Festival 2026!

The South Coast singer-songwriter and piano man takes to The Piano Tree stage (presented by Portsmouth Music Academy) on Saturday of the festival.

Olly’s journey started with his Nan’s old piano that got wheeled into his bedroom, the two became unlikely roommates and the rest is history. That early connection grew into a mastery of the keys and a gift for telling heartfelt, melodic stories that blend classic piano soul with modern emotion.

Come hear the magic live on Southsea seafront 🌊
