Coastival director Wendy Holroyd said: “Music always provides the backbone to our festival and this year is no exception.

“Of course we have mixed it up a bit in terms of the venues we are using, but the same quality and diversity of music is right there at the forefront of Coastival once again.

“We really have packed a tremendous amount into the two days of Coastival this year. From opera, to the Global Voices Choir to funk band King Bee, we’ve got something for all tastes once again.”

Overall, Coastival 2017 will feature 110 events, the majority of them free, in 32 venues. The theme this year is The Unexpected and visitors can expect to find music, performance, exhibitions and installations in unusual venues.
