Salisbury Live Launch moves indoors

Friday, 3 May 2024 01:00

Salisbury Live have announced their launch event this weekend has been moved indoors over weather concerns.

The event being hosted at Salisbury Rugby Club was originally planned to be an outdoor event, but organisers say that they will now move indoors.

Organiser Colin Holton said, "We have taken the decision to move Sunday's Launch event indoors as the weather forecast is not good. Plus, the field is very waterlogged and quite hazardous.

"It’s either this or cancel the whole event, which will not happen on our watch. It does mean, however, there are limited tickets left."

Musical acts include two stellar tribute acts, Smiths’ top tribute act, The Smiths Ltd and the world’s only female SLADE tribute, Slady.

Also on the bill are local favourites, Jet Back, Jambo Reign, 3MO and Felis Leo.

Moving the event indoors means that there will no longer be children's entertainment.

Salisbury Live 2024 kicks off on Bank Holiday Sunday, May 5th, at Salisbury Rugby Club, with doors opening at 2 pm.

Tickets are available online - https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Salisbury/Salisbury-Rugby-Club/Salisbury-Live-Launch-2024/38172867/
