Weekender The forecast is for sunshine (high of 20°) on Saturday, when Ejector Seat arts festival returns to Palmerston Park for a family-friendly mix of music, art, poetry and food, from midday until 10pm. Entry is free.
Music acts confirmed so far to play the Bandstand include headliner East India Youth, Southampton-based young newcomers Brother Goose, Cloudi Lewis, Contraband, The Crooked Beat, Hairy Hands, Manusa Project and Spectral Park, with Wounded Crow recently added to the bill.
Nationally recognised Dizraeli and Luke Wright headline the spoken word tent, while on the Melting Pot Acoustic stage Atlantico, JigFoot, BOTY0V1791 and many more will bring a stripped down sound to proceedings.
Between the acts there are DJ sets, while throughout the day there are free workshops, an arts market, live art, street acts and magic.
"Being local ourselves it's a great opportunity for not only us but the whole of this great city to embrace arts and music, plus it's free, so you have no excuse not to come," said local band Brother Goose about the Ejector Seat Festival.
This year's organiser, Charlie Hislop, said: "It's fantastic that Ejector Seat is back after the break last summer. We've got a great line-up of mainly local talent over three stages and lots of the wonderful art creations that have become the hallmark of Ejector Seat."
