The gates are wide open for this year’s Common People festival in Southampton, and Rob da Bank is quietly confident it’s set to be the best yet. Despite rapid growth, Rob, Josie, and the Bestival crew have kept that exclusive, intimate vibe alive.

It’s like being invited to a private party in their own back garden. Year after year, the festival expands but never loses that personal touch from the team behind the scenes.

Star-Studded Line-Up Packed With Hits

The 2024 line-up is a stunner. Expect legends like The Jacksons, Lily Allen, James, Sparks, and All Saints. This year’s musical mix is more diverse than ever, promising something for every taste.

Sunday steals the show with a disco-themed extravaganza. The Jacksons will headline alongside Prince’s former backing band, the New Power Generation. And all this will happen under the glow of the world’s largest disco ball — hanging above the park like a glittering giant disco ball — right beside the planet’s biggest bouncy castle!

Family Fun Takes Centre Stage

The organisers have upped the family-friendly factor this year. The festival has always been a hit with kids, and 2024 promises even more activities suited to families.
