Very proud to announce the second 'City Sounds Festival', to be held on November 25th 2023 in Chichester!!
City Sounds is a free-to-attend festival, spread across various venues, celebrating the very best new music. It is a great thing for the city, its venues, and its musicians. The last festival was such a huge success and we are very excited to work with Chichester District Council on this once again.
There are 8 venues this time, and the festival has moved to a Saturday. Music will start at midday, with a stage dedicated to under 18's artists. The remaining venues will be playing from 5pm to late. The festival is completely free to attend.
The venues are The Hole in the Wall - Chichester , The Escapist - Chichester , The Fountain - Chichester , Trents , Little Monster Tap , The George And Dragon Inn , La Havana and Franco Manca .
