This summer, something special is coming to Southampton. On Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July 2025, the city’s medieval walls will provide the stunning backdrop for TAPESTRY Festival, a brand new free celebration of music, culture and community at Westquay Esplanade.
Over two unforgettable days, TAPESTRY brings together world class musicians and homegrown Southampton talent in a bold, border crossing line up that reflects the city’s spirit of movement, migration and exchange. Expect original commissions, fresh collaborations and a soundtrack that spans generations and genres.
Beyond the music, the festival promises delicious street food, local drinks and the chance to explore everything Southampton’s vibrant city centre has to offer, all just minutes from the train station.
There are no tickets and no barriers — just incredible live music for everyone to enjoy.
Catch the highlights this August on BBC Radio 3’s Music Planet, and stay tuned for artist interviews and exciting programme updates.
