Taking in the old town, market, Winter Gardens and harbour, the event promises non-stop music, with proceedings kicking off at 2pm on Friday, August 4, and is expected to attract more than 20,000 visitors.

This year see's an improved Sunset Stage, an outdoor arena which overlooks the sea, as well as free family friendly street performances, DJ-led carnival street parties and a mix of club nightlife.
