Winchestival 2019 - Initial Line-up announced

Winchester's festival-in-a-day Winchestival returns for a third outing this June, descending once again on the city's North Walls for 12 hours of music, food and fun. The organisers have this week released details of the initial line-up and, it's safe to say, there's something here for everyone at this family friendly festival.

The Gannon-Stoddard Family Singers (aka The Magic Numbers) headline the Main Stage, with Reading's Only The Poets, Southampton four-piece Submariner and the Isle of Wight's Lauran Hibberd also on the bill. Joining them are indie pop duo Deco and, opening proceedings, Osborne School's rock choir, Rubik's Cube, with further acts TBA.

BBC Introducing Solent host the second stage this year, with a line-up featuring Southampton acts Bash! and Mystic Peach, south coast Beach Punks Remainders, the utterly mesmerising Bruch and, from Swanage, Galaxy Thief. For those who like to get their groove on there's a Disco Tent although, for my money, the Auntie Beeb's line-up looks the one to watch.

Winchestival 2019 takes place on Saturday 15th June, with advance tickets available now via EventBrite priced at £25 for adults, £13 for ages 5-17 and those under 5 getting in for FREE!
