Featuring over a hundred up and coming bands and DJ's, the event looks to establish itself as a leading new music showcase for the south coast. Held quite marvellously on International 'Talk Like A Pirate' Day, 3,000 wristbands have been released for £12, which gain you entry into all 11 venues.

With 14 stages featuring over 170 acts, the whole town has now jumped on board the good ship Southsea Festwith a number of local establishments hosting mini events featuring DJ's, poetry and art. A visual element of the south coast is being added in the form of a photographic exhibition across all venues, featuring 1960's & 70's images of Portsmouth based bands performing in the city, curated by Christina Gyles.
