PORTSTOCK 2019
Rodney Parade, Newport
Sat 22 June
Portstock 2019 is a brand new, one-day festival headed up by Stereo MC’s, who some of you may remember from their breakthrough early 90s album Connected – and if you don’t, you’re missing out. But the rest of the line-up is just as banging, including the likes of Dr. Feelgood, south Wales folk-rockers Rusty Shackle, Newport indie veterans The Darling Buds and blues singer Joe Kelly And The Royal Pharmacy.
Alongside the live music, the event will be host to an array of top quality, Welsh food and produce stalls. All proceeds from the event will go directly to St David’s Hospice Care; the event is completely family-friendly, and as such offers free entry for kids under five, and a concessional rate for those under 16; there is also a £70 family ticket, granting a discounted entry fee for two adults and two children under 16. So, why not support Newport, local traders and St David’s Hospice care all at the same time and purchase a ticket for what is, undoubtedly, going to be a day to remember.
Tickets: £28/£10 under-16s/free under-5s. Info: 01633 851051 / portstock.co.uk
