Live at The Bandstand 2023: Full line-up of live acts for music festival as it tours across Portsmouth

Music-lovers flocked to Castle Field in Southsea last year to soak in the culture and have fun in the sun. This year’s festival has the theme of Bandstand on Tour, with free live music being held in different locations.

It will not be held on bandstand field due to ongoing coastal defence works along Southsea seafront. Specific dates have been confirmed for Victoria Park, Southsea Common and King George V Playing Fields. Live at The Bandstand brings free music to the public across an array of styles and cultures.
