VENTNOR Fringe is back with ten days of the best new music, comedy and theatre this summer.

It will take place from July 23 to August 1, 2021.

With the government's new roadmap out of lockdown pointing to the removal of all restrictions from June 21, planning is underway for a specially extended event, with a cancellation refund guarantee should circumstances change.

Tickets are now on sale for selected events.

One event for all ages is California Dreamers. Born on the West Coast of America, the hippie movement quickly spread around the globe, taking with it a powerful social and musical message and a unique new sound.

Combining archive film footage, with a superb live band and singers, California Dreamers chronicles the events that provided inspiration for the songs that became the soundtrack for a generation.

Expect to hear hits from The Byrds, The Doors, Mamas and Papas, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Beach Boys, The Monkees,The Turtles, Carole King and more.

Tickets are also available for the band Gengahr. Produced by Bombay Bicycle Club’s Jack Steadman, the North London’s alt-pop four piece have carved a distinctive sound that will bring a specially created ‘pop up’ venue by the harbour to life.

Impromptu Shakespeare is another act that is expected to sell out fast.
