Celebrate the Bandstand Marathon

Perform at your local bandstand, and earn £100 for your band

Bandstand
 

The Bandstand Marathon is once more taking place throughout parks and town centres in the UK on Sunday 25th September.

Olympiad

As part of the Cultural Olympiad the Bandstand Marathon aims to humanise public spaces by having as many groups performing on as many bandstands and outdoor performances spaces all at the same time on the same day throughout the UK.

150 groups are needed to participate, and this year £100 is being offered to each participating group.

The event now in its fourth year celebrates local amateur musical talent, reflecting the many amateur athletes who will be participating in the 2012 Games4BR

Historic bandstands

It also makes use of the many historic bandstands that adorn local parks and town centres; many of which are underused or never used at all and we hope to revitalise and reinvigorate them.

The music played by the bands cross many genres, from current popular music, rock classics, music from films and shows, jazz and swing, as well as more traditional tunes.
