A Christmas Celebration for Everyone.
This Christmas, we're bringing Southampton together through the power of music.

Bringing together musicians, local schools, community groups and performers from Southampton's creative community , the event will celebrate creativity, collaboration and the joy of making music together.

Voice FM
We're delighted to have Voice FM, Southampton's community radio station, as an official media partner. Broadcasting on 103.9 FM, DAB and online, Voice FM champions local music and emerging talent. Its South Coast Music Chart gives listeners the chance to vote for their favourite regional artists, helping new music reach wider audiences. That commitment to celebrating home-grown talent makes Voice FM a natural partner for a showcase bringing Southampton's music community together.
