Dials Days Announcement

At the beginning of October 2015 a new festival hit the streets of Portsmouth; a multi - venue festival in place of, for one year only, the highly successful Southsea Festival. Spread across 5 venues on Albert Road, the festival brought some of the best up and coming UK bands to the streets of Pompey.

Now the team behind the festival are starting something new - Dials Days and Dials Nights - the principle being the same; bringing new and interesting artists to Portsmouth and showcasing their talent

The first Dials Days line up

The first Dials Day is being held on the 23rd April this year being held in conjoined venues of The Wedgewood Rooms and The Edge of the Wedge and we here are extremely excited about the recent line-up announcement. Incorporating bands who played Dials Festival and some new artists the line up looks very exciting. Dead Rabbits and Wyldest were both cracking in October and are to be joined by an array of local talent such as The Boy I Used To Be and some other brilliant bands from the UK. However this is not the end of the story, there are still headliners to be announced. 

The sad news is this isn't the whole story, Viola Beach were also in the mix to be playing the festival but were tragically killed in a car accident in Sweden along with their manager. The post from the Dials Crew is below.
Despite this obviously very sad news, I am very much looking forward to this all dayer and it is an absolute snip for £10, so will definitely be there!
