The local music event started in 2015, allowing musicians from Portsmouth and the surrounding areas to perform in front of large crowds and gain vital media exposure.

Al’Burrito, Honest Politician, Royal Albert, The Deco, Wine Vaults, The Fat Fox, The Loft, Little Johnny Russells, Edge Of the Wedge and Wedgewood Rooms are just some of the venues the festival’s bands will play at.

Is Bliss, Foxer, Horseflies, Deltorers, Allegory, Thieves By the Code, Atay, Devin Jade and Justin Capps are just a selection of bands that will be in attendance.

The concept behind the festival is to allow everyone with a ticket access to all venues. Festival goers can watch the acts of their choice with just one wristband.
