"as for all those involved in Icebreaker 2016, you’ve done our city proud… and with the amount of artist not on the line-up being as important as those that were it just goes to show if we could do it all again tomorrow, most of us probably would"
Mr Teeth Reviews February 2016

"You’d be really hard pushed to find a live event featuring this much musical talent anywhere else at this time of year, so Icebreaker Festival has definitely become an unmissable addition to our ever-growing music scene here in Southsea. With brilliant musicians of all genres and a great range of venues to choose from – it wasn’t a bad way to spend a chilly Saturday this winter"

2015 Reviews

"As one day festivals go, you would be hard pushed to find a better event to attend, especially in winter and it was an excellent day of live music. A big thanks has to go to everyone involved in it for making it one of the best events ever to be held in Portsmouth"
Rock and Roll Creations January 2015

"So with the organizers already advertising to recruit bands for next year’s event who knows where the festival will lead… but for now Icebreaker 2015 was just the tip of the iceberg, with those January blues becoming something well worth remembering"
Teeth Reviews January 2015

"Portsmouth’s Icebreaker opened it’s doors for the first time and assembled a fine array of local, and not so local, talent for the good people of Portsmouth to gorge upon"
Worship Metal January 2015

"Last weekend it was nice to do something a bit different as I went to Icebreaker Festival on Albert Road. A massive well done to all those who were involved in the organisation and event itself"
