About Music in Hampshire
Hampshire is home to a wide variety of musicians from pop princes Craig David and Matt Cardle to indie troubadour Frank Turner, who perhaps sums up the eclectic musical output as a former punk turned folk singer-songwriter. Hampshire has produced musicians across all musical genres including celebrated cellist Jennifer Ward Clarke, top 40 hit factory from the 1980’s Howard Jones and Grammy award winning indie-pop singer, Foxes.
At more than 1,400 square miles, Hampshire has plenty of space for hosting music festivals and events. Boomtown is one of its largest with over 30 stages celebrating music from every musical genre, Victorious is a family friendly music festival that takes place over the August bank holiday on the Southsea Seafront, the beautiful Grange Park Opera hosts The Grange Festival series of world-class opera performances in the heart of Hampshire and Wickham Festival ticks the boutique box winning ‘Best UK Festival, cap. under 15000’ at the Live UK Music Business Awards in October 2015.
Hampshire is not short of music venues with The Joiners, The Wedgewood Rooms and The West End Centre hosting smaller music events in Southampton, Southsea and Aldershot and the Pyramids Centre and Portsmouth Guildhall catering to audiences of up to 1,250 & 2,500.
