This year the likes of New Order, Two Door Cinema Club and Lewis Capaldi will be headlining the Southsea festival, which is being held on the August bank holiday weekend.

It takes place on Southsea Common, making it one of few UK festivals to be held in the middle of the city close to a residential area.
