FAZZAFEST 6

Fazzafest returns for its sixth edition on Saturday 10 October, taking over The Bear Cave in Bournemouth for a full day of live music. It's a homegrown, all-day celebration of bands, and this year it keeps to the festival's roots in an intimate, independent venue rather than moving to a big-stage setting. The music runs across two stages—the Bear's Bar and the Bear Cave—so you can drift between them throughout the day.

Fazzafest has built its name as a local, all-day affair, and this sixth instalment stays true to that. It's billed as one of the largest festivals of its kind in the UK, drawing crowds from across the region for a lively atmosphere. The two-stage format means the music doesn't stop: while one band is finishing up in the Bear Cave, another will be getting started in the Bear's Bar, so you've got plenty to choose from from start to finish.

As for who's playing, the full line-up and running order tend to be confirmed closer to the date, so you'll want to keep an eye on the updates as October approaches. It's the kind of day where you can come for one band and end up staying for several more, moving between the two stages as the afternoon turns into evening.

It all kicks off at The Bear Cave (the basement of The Bear's Bar & Venue, 24-26 Holdenhurst Rd, Lansdowne, Bournemouth, BH8 8AD) from 12:30pm on Saturday 10 October, with tickets starting from £11.00.
