The opening act for the Friday night Spectacle is Funky Little Choir, the region’s largest contemporary choir back at Arts by the Sea.
Following TV appearances on Gareth Malone’s Best in Britain 2016 and CBBC Glee, festival goers should get down early when they appear at the Town Hall ahead of the highly anticipated performance by House Gospel Choir.
At the Lower Gardens on Saturday and Sunday, visitors can experience the multi-sensory sound installation, Serving Sounds, where guests will find a bar that serves bass rather than beer.
Ordinary bar items like glasses, beermats, the odd bit of change, when touched, will create the sound of different instruments.
On Saturday at Bournemouth’s Bandstand in Lower Gardens, visitors can find Xaman X, Bristol’s first tropical bass band performing with live electronics, traditional Colombian instrumentation and Latin percussion.
Serving up more eclectic sounds on the Bandstand will be Bournemouth’s own Mr Pacho Vibes System; a seven-piece multi-national musical collective who blend a danceable mix of reggae, hip-hop, kuduro and funk into a dance party.
Then on Sunday, the Bandstand is handed over to Break Out Brass; the UK’s first female-led brass band playing disco and pop brass floor fillers.
Also making two appearances at the Pop Up Skatepark and Pier Approach is Tuba Libres. The talented brass collective, originally formed in 2015 in Southampton, have performed across the south coast and at festivals including Isle of Wight and Victorious.
There’s a strong focus on local and regional musical talent at this year’s event.
It continues with a takeover at the popular bar and music venue, Sixty Million Postcards, where students from Bournemouth & Poole College will be showcasing their creative skills over the weekend.
There’s more on offer not just over the festival weekend, but for the entire month of September.
GIANT OFFSITE will bring the European Premiere of Airship Orchestra to the Triangle, a must-visit largescale sound and light installation featuring giant inflatable creatures.
