About

Live at the Bandstand is back for 2023 - bringing you a sizzling summer of free live music, across an array of styles. This year continues with the theme of Bandstand on Tour, with performances taking place across Castle Field, Victoria Park, Southsea Common and King George V Playing Fields, as the traditional bandstand remains out of use due to the ongoing sea defence works.

Saturday 5 August
King George V Playing Fields
Neverman, Electric Milk, JJ Summer, and Bella Estelle

Sunday 6 August
King George V Playing Fields
Lauren & The Heatwaves, and Honky Tonk Party Band
