A SMALL-SCALE event with a big heart, Tonefest takes over a field just outside Poole from today until Sunday. The widely-praised, bijou festival sees Bootleg Blondie, Nizlopi, Electric Panda, Pronghorn, The Frequency, Gideon Conn, and Charley Macaulay top a bill that boasts some quality bands and festival thrills.

ToneFest is a not for profit event and any profit made is given to their charity for that year.

Small by design and operating on a temporary events notice licence, limits Tonefest to 499 people. It’s a wonderful size for a festival, small queues for the toilets and you can get up close to the musicians.
