Something a little different for 2025! This year, there are two exciting events taking place over the final weekend in May at The Leas Bandstand.

First up, on Saturday 31st May we have our Battle of The Bands event, in partnership with Blue Reef Festival. This will see 8 local bands compete for the opening spot at this year’s Blue Reef Festival, taking place in Maidstone on 25th and 6th July.

On Sunday 1st June, Source of Sounds present Breeze, a free day festival featuring local, national and international DJs and artists from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The event will include a marquee and food, in celebration of community, music, and summer vibes!
