City Pulse

Nottingham's favourite family party returns this Spring to the city centre with a host of music styles from 29 - 31 May.

City Pulse

City Pulse is a FREE music festival that offers something for every generation to relive or discover from 1940s swing, to 1960s pop and soul, and classic performances from ska, blues, soul and rock'n'roll artists as well as street music and surprise performances at various locations.

Dress up for disco with Maizie Williams' Boney M plus The Real Thing in Nottingham's Old Market Square. Put on your blue suede shoes and bouffant your quiff for great rock 'n' roll with The Jet and Matchbox, not to mention the likes of Dr Feelgood and Imelda May.
Back by popular demand, The Joe Loss Orchestra presented by Todd Miller brings you all the greatest party tunes of the past few decades. And we've nostalgia for the '60s, starring The New Amen Corner, plus The Animals with special guest Spencer Davis and more very special friends.
Nottingham Castle's Robin Hood statue will again be the resplendent centre of our famous dance marquee, featuring salsa and tango, plus big bands and swing.
Look out for musicians popping up on the city's streets throughout the weekend. And for more serious party people, Nottingham gives you its diverse offer of restaurants, bars and nightclubs, many with live music or DJs.

City Pulse is guaranteed to get your hips swaying and your toes tapping. And it's completely FREE, so you can make a special day trip, bring the family or just take a break from your shopping to enjoy the sounds and atmosphere.
