A popular and free music event is being moved indoors due to concerns over the weather forecast.

Live At The Bandstand, organised by Portsmouth City Council, was due to take place in Castle Field, Southsea, today. This has now been moved to The Wedgewood Rooms in Albert Road.

A statement posted on the event’s social media page yesterday said: “Due to concerns over tomorrow's weather forecast, we've made the decision to move Saturday's Live at the Bandstand indoors to the Edge of the Wedge on Albert Road so the show can go on whatever the weather. Strong Island Recordings have programmed a fantastic line up with the first artist onstage at 1pm.
