Live at the Bandstand

Live at the Bandstand Portsmouth City Council presents Live At The Bandstand - open air music on the Southsea bandstand site and on tour across the city.

With a fantastic line up for this summer the place to be on a sunny afternoon is the Bandstand. This is still one of the most popular FREE events in Portsmouth and enjoyed by all the family. So pack a picnic, blanket, chair and your sun cream and head down to Southsea. Not forgetting those all important dancing shoes for those of you who want to show off your best moves! Due to ongoing essential Coastal Defence works the Bandstand programme for 2022 is going on tour. Castle Fields will act as the primary venue for the shows. Free live music Saturday's and Sunday's starting 11th June - 24th September
Further details are available on www.visitportsmouth.co.uk. Live at the Bandstand is proudly supported by Victorious Festival who are sponsoring the shows for 2022.
