Southsea Bandstand live entertainment with The Live Karaoke Band

This archive story looks back at The Live Karaoke Band performing for more than 4,000 people at Southsea Bandstand in Portsmouth as part of a major public event organised by Portsmouth City Council.

Large public events need entertainment that can engage a crowd quickly, create atmosphere and keep people involved over a long set. This show did exactly that, with a huge number of people wanting to join in and sing with the band throughout the afternoon and evening.

Why this public event still matters

This booking is a useful example of how The Live Karaoke Band can work not just for weddings, private parties and corporate events, but also for open public audiences in well-known community venues. It also showed the strength of demand for the format, with more singer requests coming in than the band could fit into the show.

The event was also a repeat booking, with Portsmouth City Council asking the band back for a second consecutive year. That kind of repeat public booking is a strong sign that the format worked well for both organisers and the audience.
