Isle of Wight band The Pill will perform at two major UK festivals in one day this bank holiday weekend, rounding off the summer festival season ahead of their upcoming headline tour.
The punk duo will take to the stage at Victorious Festival in Southsea on Saturday, 23rd August, before making their way to Reading Festival for a gig later the same day.
Twice in one day
At Victorious, you can catch the pair opening up the Common Stage at 12.10pm, ahead of performances from Shed Seven, Scouting for Girls and The Last Dinner Party.
At Reading, they’ll be on the BBC Introducing Stage at 6.25pm, before acts including Limp Bizkit and Becky Hill take to the main stages.
“It’s a very fun opportunity for us”
Joining Lottie Massey on bass and Lily Hutchings on guitar, will be drummer Gavin Sullivan.
Speaking ahead of the gigs, The Pill said,
“We’re super excited for Victorious. It’s one of the biggest stages we’ve done and it’s a very fun opportunity for us.
“We can’t believe it’s happening.”
Victorious Festival 2025 will be headlined by Kings of Leon, Vampire Weekend and Queens of the Stone Age, whilst Reading will feature performances from Chappell Roan, Hozier and Travis Scott.
UK and Europe tour
In September and October, The Pill will embark on a headline tour around the UK and Europe.
The concerts in Bristol and Manchester have already sold out, and the nearest date to the Isle of Wight will be at The Joiners in Southampton on 1st October 2025.
Newly released EP
The tour is in support of the group’s newly released EP, which combines their singles from the last twelve months.
After the UK gigs, the band will head to Europe, stopping off in Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and France.
Since they released their debut single in April 2024, The Pill have quickly gained popularity, having supported Green Day and attracted famous fans including the BBC’s Steve Lamacq.
