Now that the wind and rain have stopped and the tent is packed away, we just want to say thank you.

Firstly, to the bands and artists. Really gutted that you didn't get to play this year; we appreciate every single one of you who joins us each year.
The guys at Word of Mouth, thanks for everything, and we are pleased you got your artists onto other stages run by you. The dancers from OH1 collective went and smahed Little Johnny Russels and Henrys house, well done very proud x.

To our customers who made it there on Friday, thank you x

Just to clear a few things up, we agreed on the pitch allocation back in April. We were looking forward to going back to where we started all those years ago and creating a new area, which would of been great if it wasnt for the weather.
The right decision was made to close the area. As you may or may not know, there was another festival last weekend where someone went out and didn't make it home.

A BIG thank you to Victorious Festival for allowing 86 performers in the Tearooms this year and for all the hard work they put into promoting the bands and artists for them and us. They do all of this for our little tent, and it means so much.
Victorious Festival has also covered all of our costs and more, so we havent been left out of pocket at all. We can't thank them enough!! Also, on top of that they gave all our staff VIP wrist bands and a stack of drinks tokens, thats probaly why this post is a couple of days late😁.

All of our stock went to the local food bank.

Thank you to everyone who came in to support us this year. Much love, and see you next year ######

Ouuu, it's all getting a little bit exciting! Less than 2 weeks to go until we are back at the Mighty Victorious Festival!

There has been a lot of talk about the main stage being moved further up the field. We have moved as well, and you can find us back at the Seaside Stage/The Bandstand for the glorious sunsets and the magic of the Tearooms.

We have 3 days of the best local musicians, so get on the app and start planning your days: https://bit.Ly/3OhZUDf

Portsmouth’s music history was built by the people in the rooms—the promoters taking risks, the bands on tiny stages, and everyone working behind the scenes to keep grassroots live music alive.

We’re putting together Waves of Sound, a documentary exploring the story of Portsmouth’s grassroots music scene, and we want to capture it properly.

We’re looking to speak with the artists, promoters, and creatives who helped shape the local landscape over the years. We’re also hunting for original archive material—old gig posters, flyers, ticket stubs, photos, and video footage.
Filming starts this August.

If you’ve got stories to tell or archive bits gathering dust, drop us an email:
