The multi award winning team at Bestival, present to us the Southampton based Festival, Common People. It will be held on the 23rd and 24th May 2015.

Taking place on the bank holiday weekend on Southampton Common, the two day, metropolitan festival will bring the spirit of Bestival away from the Isle of Wight and into the heart of the city.

Rob Da Bank, curator of the festival, explained that Common People is the first new venture since Camp Bestival seven years ago. He went on to tell us that this festival isn’t a camping show, its not tents and wellies, it’s a two day show that has easy access and is open to all ages. A festival packed with experiences that is reasonably priced, it was designed to allow everybody to enjoy good music and fun activities along with cultural highs including art and delicious food.

Fatboy Slim, DJ Yoda, The Cuban Brothers, Jaguar Skills, De La Soul, Band of Skulls, Plastic Mermaids, SomaHigh and Clean Bandit are just some of the many artists that will perform over the weekend alongside activities including, crazy inflatable bundle madness, face painting, brass bands, trapeze lessons and much, much more.
