Eastbourne Bandstand
Latest Reviews
I have to confess that I have a secret love for the summer nights at the bandstand, apart from Buck's Fizz most of the groups are tribute bands. However the zeal these bands give to their evening makes it a great night out . The bandstand also hosts classical concerts and other musical events at a good price .

Great location!
Had seats for Airbourne, unfortunately due to the fact the seats are cable tied together I had the flab of one person on one side & the stench of someone else on the other; so despite having paid I had to leave. They should use longer cable ties so people can at least move a bit.
The 80s evening was a laugh purely for the atmosphere & memories. The singers could sing, although I'd have preferred an exact rendition and a better choice of songs.

The bandstand is nicely secluded and hosts vast numbers of musical events throughout the season. The prices of the concerts were extremely reasonable and the atmosphere was excellent. If you see a group featured here then don't hesitate - go and watch.

I booked this as something to do to end our 1st day in Eastbourne on Friday 12th August. We saw 'Bucks Fizz', and before you laugh, they were great. Everyone there enjoyed themselves, great atmosphere and fun was had by all. If I could sum it up, karaoke en-mass. They even had a bar which was a surprise and the queues went down quickly.
The venue was well presented, all seating with no allocated seats, the staff were helpful and pleasant. Well done.

Saw Bucks Fizz here last night. Not a big fan, but a good value night out at the seaside. The season of tribute bands is excellent. Abba, Status Quo & Queen. Great atmosphere. Try it!

Saw supreme tribute band - tickets were really cheap ( about £15 for 2 tickets ) so didn't have high expectations - but they were great! Great atmosphere- lots of dancing and singing from audience too. 2 wines cost less than six pounds - and all finished by 9.30 so not too late a night.

A very good live band that had the whole audience come alive with excitement.
Would recommend others to see this live band and for the experience.
Also, lots of audience interaction.

Great band playing and finished with 1812 Overture then superb fireworks over the bay. A good night and friendly staff, only downside you need to use toilets outside for 20p.

Eastbourne is so lucky to have such a wonderful venue. Spent a lovely evening watching Brighton Big Band last night. All for £5.

We came as a couple to see the Lionel Richie tribute concert, we'd booked the tickets about two weeks prior and were surprised to find out that seating was a 1st come, 1st served basis, that said we managed to get reasonable seats and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
To use the toilets, you had to leave the area and pay 20p which was a pain but didn't detract from our enjoyment.
They do a lot of tribute acts here, and for the price of £15.50 for a couple, it's well worth the outlay for a couple of hours, there's a bar on site as well - Happy Days/Nights.

Had a wonderful experience with The Zoots 1960s show. It one was one of the best nights of the year! The staff were all very friendly and there was a fantastic atmosphere. There were people from as young as six year olds all the way up. What a brilliant night! Thank you!

Watched a tribute to Lionel Richie this past weekend with my husband and have to say it was a great night. We even got up for a little boogie towards the end of the evening.

Came across this bandstand on Saturday while visiting Eastbourne! What a amazing thing to see! Bandstand is beautiful and they had a Bee Gee's tribute act on and it was so much fun! Everyone dancing and singing along I would highly recommend this place :)

Great atmosphere and very good night's entertainment. Book or arrive early as this attraction is very popular, has a bar, and full security checks on entering. A wide variety of acts on show, check local poster information or what's on guide.

Joyous evening. Everyone relaxed and having fun. Brilliant value. Support this iconic location. Lots of different events during the season. Something for everyone.

This is a lovely historical bandstand with something going on most nights of the week in summer. Seating set on 3 levels, the only issue is if its rainy or windy, you feel the full brunt. I'd love to go back to see the big band or firework concerts.

Having been brought up with watching music at bandstands I wanted to introduce my wife to the spectacle. I chose a Brass Band concert as that would be as near to my memories as possible. I forgot that my memory should have included the wind and rain.
Nevertheless it was a great evening not just because of the good music, but particularly the venue which has acoustic brillance and surprisingly comfortable upright deckchairs.
Plus, if you get in early enough (no reserved seats) it is possible to sit under the cover of the balcony above - and still get a good view

Excellent show, very authentic. Great audience participation.
Weather fine but cold so wrap up warm if you go.
Thoroughly enjoyable singing along to all his numbers and more. Well worth the money and he never stopped.

Fabulous old Bandstand right by the sea. Tribute bands throughout the summer months, some of which are very good. Even when the 'not so good' ones are on it is still a good experience on a summers evening, there is a bar. It does not cost much and the crowds get behind the acts and enhance the atmosphere.
