Highlights from Day 1 @VictoriousFest cracking set from @thestayawakes, singing along to favourite @LotteryWinners tunes, the absolute energy of @idlesband, screaming when @FatboySlim came out in his custom @MyDogSighs shirt and this video with @fakeempireUK 's absolute TUNE! 🎶
☀️ Wow, we were beyond thrilled to kick off Day 1 of Victorious 24 under bright, sunny skies! From yoga sessions to Fatboy Slim — and everything in between — it’s been an incredible start to the festival! 💙

This should be our Dunblane moment. Only with social media not guns. @elonmusk is a feckless billionaire whose algorithms pose an imminent threat to life. He won’t act. So it’s critical that we now do. https://t.co/o0fPgFTMzp
