This years Riverside Festival is getting a big splash of FD2D throughout the West End. Bringing the creative community together with acoustic music, interactive performance and visual art. On Bede Park we will be build a small village over the weekend, squeezed full of local talent. The acoustic tent will be hosting live music, spoken word along side jukebox DJs. Outside will be space to chill on the grass in the picket-fence garden, looking out over the Festival where Combust will be performing, entertaining and offering free poi workshops throughout the day. While Hub and some local artists exhibit work in a live gallery where any one can come for a doodle in the SkibbleFest. The Obar has drink on tap in the beer tent so you can make a day of it and enjoy the festivities.

The party really gets fired up from dusk with Combust lighting the skies with a live fire show before heading to the best bars and venues of the West End for a night to remember. Over the weekend a line up of live music, Dubstep, bass, house classics and party anthems will flood the area in the Fringe After party, Tales of the Riverside. Something for every taste down by the river.
