Bournemouth Soul & House Weekender

Bournemouth Is Back, Baby. And It’s Got Soul.

We’ve been chasing the Endless Summer since ’97 and coming soon vibes are going to get a whole lot louder. We’re absolutely buzzing to announce that Hot Rocks will be a central hub for the inaugural Bournemouth Soul & House Weekender, taking place across four incredible days.

This is a proper celebration of Soul, Jazz, Funk, Boogie and House music, brought to life by some of the finest names in the game, right here in our beautiful Bournemouth town. Tickets will sell out fast, and for good reason, so make sure you don’t sleep on this one.

DJ Line-Up

The talent on show is seriously something special. Here’s just a taste of who’s coming:

• Andy Ward
• Bob Povey and Jon Coomer (Bump N Hustle)
• Seamus Haji
• Patrick Smoove
• Trevor Fung
• Silvia Zaragoza
• Tommy Musto
• And many more…

With full support from the Vocal Booth Radio squad, this line-up is just the beginning.

Event Details

• Dates: Friday 1st – Monday 4th May 2026 (Bank Holiday Weekend)
• Venue: Hot Rocks, Pier Approach, Bournemouth, BH2 5AA, plus other local, independent venues in Bournemouth
• What’s On: Events running upstairs at Hot Rocks throughout all four days
• Ticketing: Tickets available to purchase online or in person at Hot Rocks across the weekend

Plus, Hot Rocks will be acting as the central hub for tickets, info and general good times across the entire weekend.

Let’s be honest, all that dancing works up a thirst. Luckily, our fully stocked cocktail bar has you covered, with classic favourites and signature creations on the menu that’ll keep the good times rolling. Pair that with globally inspired dishes and Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas fresh from the oven, and you might just forget to go home. Fair warning.

Tables at Hot Rocks go faster than a 130 BPM remix, so get yours booked before someone else does.
