System Technician on the Common Stage — Victorious Festival’s main stage — across the August bank-holiday weekend 2026, covering three headline nights from Richard Ashcroft through The Black Keys to Kasabian.
The stage ran a d&b audiotechnik SL-Series system: GSL main and side hangs covering the front-of-house field and the outer wings of Southsea Common, with KSL delay towers extending consistent coverage back through the crowd. Signal distribution, matrixing and system DSP were handled on a DirectOut PRODIGY platform, feeding the amplifier network for daily changeovers and per-act system tuning across the weekend.
