2024 SIDE STAGE BANDS
Side Stage Bands
During the breaks between each main stage performance, side stage acts, mostly kids bands, will perform on a side stage next to each of the two main stages so that there is continuous music throughout the day. This year there will be 14 side stage acts.
LIVE SOUND ENGINEERING
So that all the bands can sound their absolute best on stage, we have contracted the services of the Peninsula's premier, festival-capable live sound engineer: Greg Posten of Four Ohm Productions.
