Festivals Southsea Fest 2014

No other festival has nailed the do-it-yourself ethic as well as Southsea Fest has. Entering its eighth year, the Portsmouth-based festival brings together passionate locals over their love for the city and new music, and the end result is a day of celebration for everything independent. Carefully curated every time, this year’s lineup is perhaps its most eye-catching in recent memory, allowing some of the biggest indie acts and rising favourites to play literally one end of the road from each other. Featuring over a hundred acts across thirteen venues, the prospect of Southsea Fest can be a daunting one, so here’s a rundown of some of the best acts to catch when the day arrives.
