Portsmouth Punk Festival Band Highlight! eatboys
A melodic emo three-piece emerging from the South coast in early 2024 writing loud songs about quiet damage. Their sound sits somewhere between confession and confrontation, by taking cues from Paramore’s emotional bite, Sweet Pill and Pool Kids’ technical shimmer, and the blunt-force catharsis of IDLES, balancing precision with chaos.
Join them on the 15th of August in The Lens Studio, book your tickets now: https://www.portsmouthguildhall.org.uk/whats-on/event/portsmouth-punk-festival/

Paul’s journey with The Jam began at the age of 13, when he witnessed them live for the first time – a moment that changed his life forever. Throughout the late 70s and early 80s, he was a regular at their legendary gigs, soaking in every riff, every lyric, every defiant shout from the front rows. That deep connection shines through in every performance.

Supporting Caitlin on the 8th of August 2026! Brooke Star
Brooke Star is a singer-songwriter originating in Portsmouth. Brooke has dabbled in all areas of music and performance, with her first performance as one the leading roles in the theater production’ The sound of music’ , her desire to be on stage has never died down, however, with her ever growing love for emotionally evoking music and lyrics, she has pushed her way into the world of pop and is now using her versatile tone and personal experiences to write emotionally driven songs based around her own personal struggles with anxiety, finding out who she is and where she fits. Brooke say’s: ‘ I think Music has helped me escape from some realities that have been too difficult to handle, and along the way of me thinking i needed to fit in, it has made me realize, that I would rather not be something that ‘fit’s ‘ but actually something that stands out, and with that, to me, a world without music, is like a body without a soul
