CloseUp Promotions presents: Follow The Sun Festival

Our good friends at CloseUp Promotions are excited to bring a brand new mini-festival to the south-coast of the UK in the little Portsmouth town of Southsea on July 7th.

Follow the Sun Festival 2018 will bring local and nationally touring artists together in typical CloseUp fashion, hosting a huge bill of the UK’s finest musical talent.

The festival will take place at the iconic Edge of the Wedge in Southsea – a 100 cap venue sure enough to get you up close and personal with some of your favourite up and coming bands – including our 2018 Ones to Watch Marsicans – recent Artist Spotlight Lauran Hibberd and Indie all-stars Wild Front.

Check out the lineup below:
