Vintage music festival to rock Southbourne for 11th year
The award-winning Shake & Stir Vintage Music Festival will mark its 11th year when it takes place this June at Fisherman’s Walk in Southbourne.
An award-winning music festival will celebrate its 11th year when it returns to Fisherman’s Walk in Southbourne on the 28 and 29 June 2025.
For the first time, the Shake & Stir Vintage Music Festival will be ticketed, to ensure it continues to provide high-quality entertainment. Part of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to supporting the Rotary Foundation through the festival’s new charitable collaboration. Every year, this foundation provides grants worth hundreds of millions to Rotary Clubs throughout the world for humanitarian projects, vocational training and scholarships.
The festival will feature a range of artists and acts covering genres from rockabilly to swing, as well as sets by top DJs Mr E and Dave Norrell. Netherlands-based rock ‘n’ roll band The Explosion Rockets are this year’s headliners. You can see the full line up on www.shakenstirfest.com.
As well as live music and dancing, attendees can look forward to seeing classic cars, retro displays featuring nostalgic décor, browsing vintage and artisan market stalls, plus plenty of tasty treats from food vendors.
Attendees are also encouraged to dress in their best vintage outfits and celebrate the styles of the 1920s to the 1970s.
Shake & Stir is organised by Stir Events CIC, a not-for-profit organisation. Mandy Polkey, event director at Stir Events, said: “We’re thrilled to celebrate our 11th year with ticketed entry to ensure we can continue delivering an unforgettable experience.
“By partnering with Rotary, we’re amplifying our community impact and giving back in a meaningful way.”
