Get ready for festival season at Brown Street

Thursday, 20 April 2023 01:00

The countdown to Endorse It Endorset officially gets underway on Friday at Brown Street venue in Salisbury.

The alternative festival takes place July 20-22, and both bands performing on the night, Guns of Naverone and Meat Sweats, will be playing on the festival lineup.

The festival returned to the festival calendar last year after a decade hiatus. Based now at Cerne Abbas Brewery, moving on from its previous Sixpenny Handley home.

Guns of Navarone top the Brown Street bill after a storming set at Salisbury Arts Centre in February, headlining Salisbury Live’s ‘Beggars Bash.’

Tickets are just £5 (plus booking fee) and are available at www.brownstreet.biz

Legendary ska and punk acts The Beat and Peter and The Test Tube Babies top the bill at July’s Endorse It Endorset. Dub Pistols, Prince Fatty are some of the other big name draws, along with local favourites Pyeshoppe, Pronghorn, and a hundred other acts.

Grant Sharkey, performing on the Friday spoke of the festival's unique identity.

“Endorset is how festivals should be. Small, trusting and letting the quality of the eclectic roster of music shine. Where some festivals are scared to mix genres, Endorset is perfectly curated from midday to midnight.”

“Friendly without being twee. There’s no facade separating the audience from the backstages. You can’t help but make friends there.”

Tickets for the Endorse It Endorset can be found at: www.endorset.co.uk
