This summer, Gloucester is all about Sound. From June to September, we’re celebrating the sounds that make up our city, from some of the UK’s biggest live music acts to the quiet places in the city where you can find moments of connection.
Visit Gloucester is bringing together all of this in Gloucester’s Summer of Sound. Scroll down and Click on the tiles below to explore different ways to experience the Sounds of the City this summer
Our Featured Events include the absolute icon that is Sir Tom Jones, who'll be entertaining a packed Kingsholm Stadium, along with epic summer vibes from unbelievable Ministry of Sound Classical, as part of Gloucester Rugby’s unmissable Summer Series in June(book those tickets now!).
BBC National Orchestra of Wales will be headlining Gloucester Cathedral’s Organ Festival in June, alongside other amazing artists. This festival has been created to celebrate the build of the Cathedral's astonishing new organ. Mind-blowing sounds, no amplification needed.
We've also got Three Choirs Festival, which is back in Gloucester in July and will be more magnificent than ever. With accessible ticket prices, youth memberships, free events, the beautiful Festival Village and huge concerts featuring bangers from Elgar, Mozart and Beethoven, as well as incredible contemporary music, if you've never been to this world-class music festival, now's the time!
Also in July, the city’s much-loved Rhythm & Blues Festival, coordinated by our friends Gloucester BID is set to bring the streets (and pubs!) alive once again for ten jam-packed days of jazz, R&B and smooth vibes.
Over a week this August, dive into Lost in Music a world of rhythm, voice and tune at Gloucester Guildhall with family-friendly activities, performances, installations and more, all inspired by the immersive nature of music.
Explore our Music section to explore all the gigs and music events, the Take a Moment section for ways to explore your connection to the city through sound, and the City Sounds section for all the places that simply sing ‘Gloucester’.
From mid-June, pick up a What’s On Guide around town, look out for banners and flags across the city centre connecting all of our great attractions, and (most importantly!) bookmark this page and follow us on socials, where we’ll be making a big noise about the best events, experiences and places to visit in the city this summer.
