2024 marks the 5th anniversary of Golden Touch Festival, which has quickly become a standout event across Portsmouth and the South Coast music scene. Golden Touch was created to bridge the gap between independent artists and national touring talent and bring this to the forefront of the local scene. Since 2019, they’ve played host to the likes of Cassia, Bears in Trees, Corella, The K’s, The Royston Club, Casey Lowry and more.

Held at Portsmouth’s legendary Wedgewood Rooms, 20+ bands that you need to listen to before they blow up to unimaginable levels will descend on the coastal town to showcase the rising musical talent this country keeps on putting out into the world.

London-based quartet Luna Bay and Newcastle-native Lizzie Esau have put on simply blistering headline shows over recent months and will, no doubt, draw even bigger crowds to Portsmouth’s Wedgewood Rooms than the 2023 edition. They join a line-up which includes Vistas, BILK, Indoor Pets, Overpass, The Covasettes, Fiona-Lee, BandiSterling Press and more!
