The event will run in parallel with the Olympic sailing competition in Weymouth, Dorset. It is expected to attract in excess of 200,000 people over the two-week period.

Located at the end of Weymouth’s famous beach, the waterfront site will have two stages and up to 100 retailers. It will combine all-day live music and entertainment with extreme skate park and reverse bungee rides, as well as Dorset arts and crafts displays and a Jurassic coast exhibition. 

SXS Events will be providing the stages, rigging, sound production, lighting and full technical support at the festival.

Justin Litten, production manager at SXS Events, said: "The site is a particularly challenging one as we are going to experience some high Atlantic winds, as well as salt spray. This has presented some exciting challenges that the SXS technical team have done a great job approaching."
