Country On The Coast

Welcome to Country on the Coast - Southsea’s premier celebration of original Country, Americana, and Folk music.

Taking over the iconic Gaiety on South Parade Pier, Country on the Coast brings the rich storytelling, world-class musicianship, and electric atmosphere of Nashville straight to the Solent coastline.

Designed for true music lovers, this event eliminates the traditional barriers of mud-filled fields and distant main stages. Held entirely indoors across two live stages, the festival delivers non-stop, back to back music in an intimate, listening focused setting where fans and artists connect under one roof.

What to Expect

Two Stages of Live Original Music: A hand-picked lineup from across the UK and internationally, showcasing the finest established artists alongside the most exciting emerging talent focusing on original songwriting.

Line Dancing Workshops: Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, take to the floor with guided sessions throughout the weekend.

Country Traders Corner: Browse a hand-picked selection of independent stalls offering Western wear and country lifestyle items.

Seaside Hospitality: Enjoy a wide range of food and drink options while taking in panoramic coastal views from the pier.

Built by music fans, for music fans, Country on the Coast is all about genuine connection. They champion original artistry in an intimate setting where you can meet the artists, grab official merch directly from the bands, and catch the UK’s most exciting roots talent up close before they go on to hit main stages.

Join the community for a weekend of big songs, storytelling, community spirit and the seaside.
