WHO’D have thought it? The Bournemouth Sevens Festival isn’t just about a load of blokes chasing an egg shaped ball around for two days... there’s actually a whole host of musical offerings and plenty more entertainment throughout the weekend.

Back for the fifth consecutive year at Bournemouth Sports Club, this weekend’s Bournemouth Sevens Festival will see crowds of 20,000 festival-goers each day enjoy a combination of rugby sevens, netball, music and family entertainment.

This year’s festival sees the entertainment taken to another level with live bands and DJs rocking the crowds on the Nintendo Festival Stage, Carlsberg Beer Tent, Coco Loco tent, Red Bull Players Lounge and Jagerbomb Bar, Ibiza Foam Party and Viper 10 Lounge. On the Saturday night you can marvel at the quirky German Oompah Band before live bands take to the stage from 9pm onwards.

Local bands will be in the scrum and feature 24SEVEN favourites Fearne and Constellation are part of the weekend’s musical entertainment, with fancy dress all weekend.
