TOPLOADER is set to headline Music by the Sea Festival in the seaside town of Swanage, Dorset, on September 2nd. The pop-rock band, led by front man Joe Washburn, will be performing some of their classic hits, including the billion-downloaded worldwide hit ‘Dancing in The Moonlight’, as well as some of their more recent material.
The festival, which is now in its third year, will also include performances from local Indie rock band GALAXY THIEF and is expected to be the largest yet, with around 2,000 people in attendance.
The event is in memory of Henry Searle and William Paddy, two local boys who tragically passed away, and will be raising awareness and funds for charities #Willdoes and Cancare, both of which support the wellbeing of young people.
Joe Washburn said: “We are really looking forward to playing at Dorset’s Music by the Sea Festival in Swanage. It’s such a fantastic festival with a great family vibe and incredible food and drink stalls. We love the festivals where there’s more than a hot dog stand and it’s more about the whole ambience – the crowd really gets behind you. If you have never been to this before, come along – you won’t be disappointed.”
Founder of #Willdoes and mum of Will, Lesley Paddy, and Vicki Searles, mum of Henry, both expressed their enthusiasm for the festival: “Both charities are thrilled to have such a prestigious band headline at the festival and support such great causes. We really think this will be the year that brings in a great crowd and puts Swanage on the festival map!”
Music by the Sea Festival will take place at Prince Albert Gardens Swanage, from 11am to 9pm on September 2nd, with local food stalls and a bar open. Tickets cost £15 for adults with a postcode BH19/20, and £20 for all other adults, with children free under 14. Tickets can be purchased at www.eventbrite.co.uk.
