Shake & Stir 2025 – A Weekend of Vintage Magic You Won’t Want to Miss!
Shake & Stir Vintage Music Festival is back for 2025 - and with a fabulous line-up, a full day-to-night programme, and tickets priced to offer unbeatable value. Taking place on Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th June in Southbourne’s Fisherman’s Walk, this year marks the first time the festival has been ticketed in its 11-year history, a necessary move due to rising operational costs affecting events nationwide.
Tickets cost just £7.50 per day or £10 for the whole weekend - a bargain for two jam-packed days of live music, dancing, vintage markets, food, drink, and community spirit. Children under 12 go free.
New for 2025, Saturday’s programme now extends until 9:00pm, giving visitors even more time to enjoy the festivities. The evening will climax with a special headline performance from international rock 'n' roll stars The Explosion Rockets, flying in from the Netherlands to wow the Southbourne crowd.
Shake & Stir 2025 promises not just music but an atmosphere of nostalgia - vintage cars, artisan stalls, retro entertainment, and good old-fashioned seaside fun. From swing to soul, rockabilly to rhythm and blues, there’s something for everyone.
