Spalding town centre is due to host a free day of live music and motorbike displays on Sunday, August 9, as local performers take to a specially erected stage in the Market Place.
Live Music Day is being organised by Spalding Business Improvement District in conjunction with Live Promotions. The event is intended to bring performances, motorbike displays, food and drink together in the town centre, with local businesses expected to remain open throughout the day.
Entry is completely free. Visitors should be aware that no additional seats will be provided, although they are welcome to bring their own chairs.
Eight acts on the programme
The published timetable features eight acts, beginning with Zebra and ending with The Houndogs, whose rock ‘n’ roll show is scheduled to close the day.
- Zebra: 1pm
- Keep This Up: 12.40pm
- Fred Lane: 1.20pm
- Replay: 2pm
- Sound Injektors: 2.40pm
- Highlights: 3.20pm
- Velocity: 4.20pm
- The Houndogs: 5.10pm to 6pm
The source describes the bands as playing in the town centre from 12pm, but also says the event kicks off at 1pm with Zebra. The detailed schedule places Keep This Up at 12.40pm, before Zebra’s listed performance. Because those timings do not fully align, visitors who need precise arrival information should confirm the programme with the organisers.
Motorbike displays around the Market Place
Bikers are being encouraged to attend and bring their vehicles. Motorbike parking and viewing areas are planned for Broad Street, New Road, Red Lion Street, Herring Lane, Sheep Market and Hall Place.
The displays will therefore extend beyond the stage area in the Market Place, giving visitors several nearby locations where they can see the vehicles. The supplied event information does not provide further details about the number of bikes, display arrangements or any road restrictions.
Food, drink and support for local traders
A host of local businesses will be open and serving food and drink during the event. The organisers are presenting the day as an opportunity for visitors to spend time in Spalding while supporting businesses around the event area.
” We can’t wait to bring another fantastic day of live entertainment to Spalding. “Whether you’re staying for one band or making a day of it, we hope you’ll join us in supporting our local businesses and helping to make it a memorable event for everyone.
The statement was issued by a spokesman for Spalding BID. Visitors planning to stay for several performances may wish to bring their own seating, as the event will not have additional chairs available. The event material confirms that admission is free, while the conflicting start-time information means the timetable should be checked before travelling.
