When is it?

The one-day beach fest will be held on Sunday July 10 this year.

Last year’s Sandfest was due to take place in July but had to be postponed due to coronavirus restrictions, taking place in September instead.

It is held from midday until 10pm.

What is Sandfest?

It's a mega beach party at Sandbanks beach with music acts, bars and food.

Bournemouth Echo:

How many people are going?

Around 5,000 festival goers are expected to attend this year.

Where is it?

At the stunning Sandbanks beach.

Is there a dress code?

Relaxed is the vibe, but probably worth remembering the arena is sand, so heels are not advised.

Is there food and drink?

Absolutely. But don't bring your own - or you won't be allowed in. Organisers insist all tastes will be catered for.

Festival organiser Ty Temel said: "This is real grassroots event where consistently use local traders, local suppliers and employ local staff.”

Who is playing?

Music group Clean Bandit will headline the beach festival on Sunday, July 10.

The band, whose breakthrough success came in 2014 with the single ‘Rather Be’, feat. Jess Glynne, are renowned for their live sets, ensuring the party on one of the country's most iconic beaches will be rocking.

Other acts included in the line-up include Jax Jones, Shy FX, Tom Zanetti and Wes Nelson.

Dance acts Karen Harding and Sweet Female Attitude are also among the line-up.

Who has played previously?

Previous acts who have played Sandfest include Faithless, Idris Elba, Tinie Tempah and Chase and Status.
