A music festival celebrating 1990s hits at the O2 Academy Bournemouth.
Back To The 90's Festival comes to O2 Academy Bournemouth on Saturday 19 September, a full night of music from the nineties. It's a festival format rather than a single act, so the evening is built around a run of artists and DJs playing through the decade's sounds rather than one band doing a set and calling it a night. If you spent your nineties in a dancefloor or a bedroom with a CD player, that's exactly what this is geared towards.
It's a one-night affair, not a weekend-long thing, so you can get your fix and be home without needing to book a hotel. The whole thing takes place at the O2 Academy Bournemouth, which is at 570 Christchurch Road in Boscombe, BH1 4BH. It's a well-known spot for gigs in the area, so it should be easy enough to find if you're coming from across town.
Because it's a festival, the night is designed to keep going, with different acts taking over the stage throughout the evening. The focus is on the music of the nineties, and the lineup is built around that. It's the kind of night where you can pick your favourite eras of the decade and stick around for the ones that hit home, or just stay for the whole run.
