The Tidal Waves beach music Festival in Bridlington this weekend (Friday 9 and Saturday 10 June) event has now added a second venue – The Spa Gardens, on Saturday.
The newly – announced schedule of music at the Spa Gardens on Saturday is:
9.30 am: Louder than Life : samba band : a chance for both audience and artists to learn samba dance with a view to taking part in mass participation to end the show
10.30am : Unwired Society : a punk rock band from Hull consisting of Dylan Burton on Guitar/Vocals and Lauren England on Drums. Influenced by Green Day, The Clash, Blink 182 and plenty of other punk bands. They formed in September 2014 and have self released an EP recorded in Dylan’s studio called “Punk Is Alive”. The band’s live shows consist of energy and humbleness!
11.00 am : Frankie Turton : a talented multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter. Frankie’s performances and original songs offer heart-felt, real emotions to which we can all relate. Her mixture of self-penned hits in the making and carefully chosen covers captivate audiences across the north of England in intimate venues and festivals alike.
12 midday : Nafferton Steel Band (performers of primary school age)
12.15pm – 1.15pm : Louder than Life : samba band : a chance for both audience and artists to learn samba dance with a view to taking part in mass participation to end the show

The Spa Gardens event is free to attend, and there is no need to book in advance.
Festival director Kirsty Dingle said;
“I am delighted that we have been able to add an extra segment to the Festival programme, and one in which the whole community can join in. This will be great fun on Saturday morning, with the emphasis firmly on taking part – and on music by young people!”
