People are invited to enjoy a day of free entertainment at an event showcasing the South Coast's best ‘black and global majority’ musical talent.

Along the Coast, a free day festival which forms part of Portsmouth City Council’s Live at the Bandstand summer programme, will be held at Castle Field, Southsea on Saturday, June 18.

This year’s line-up will include artists such as Madison Well, IK8OY, Tiwo, Kidd Crayy, Elixir Edge among others and the event will culminate in a DJ vs DJ competition. Last year’s inaugaral show saw ‘some of the area’s brightest emerging black talent’ perform to delighted crowds.
