Music in the Sun this August

After a break of eight years, it looks like Music in the Sun will be back this summer. NonStop Events Ltd aims to re-stage the multicultural music festival that was started at SADACCA in 1989.

The festival will again take place at Don Valley Grass Bowl, which was its home in previous years. The following dates have been set:

Saturday 2nd August (1pm – Midnight)

Sunday 3rd August (1pm – 9pm)

With support from New Deal, Music in the Sun will be hosting a Burngreave community stage at the festival.

Call for local community talent

A committee has been formed of local residents who are seeking out local musicians and performers to demonstrate their skills live on stage.

They are looking for unsigned groups, singers, rappers, poets, dancers, drummers and comedians.
