Summer Jam is back with a bang at The Brewery Quarter, Cheltenham
Building on the success of previous years, the festival has been extended from two to three days and will run from Friday 2nd August until Sunday 4th August at Cheltenham’s no.1 lifestyle destination.
Now in its fourth year, Summer Jam is set to roll out three brilliant days of live music and dancing, fantastic food and delicious drinks as well as fun for all the family. With tenants getting into the festival spirit with exclusive outside offers and entertaining activities, the three-day event brings the best summer vibes to the heart of Cheltenham.
Marketing Manager for The Brewery Quarter, Demelsa Coleman, said: “Summer Jam is without doubt one of our favourite events, we love it so much that this year we’re getting the party started a whole day earlier. We are kicking off on Friday at 5pm with a heady mix of jazz, funk and hip hop on our main stage with supporting acts in The Botanist, Brewhouse and Kitchen, Cosy Club and Babel over the weekend.
“Last year we welcomed more than 30,000 people, so with an extra day this year we’re hoping to share the fun with a lot more. We can’t wait to soak up the summer vibes and enjoy a fantastic weekend.”
The Summer Jam Festival starts at 5pm on Friday 2nd August and finishes at 9.30pm. Popular local songstress Camilla Lewington will open the festival with her eclectic dance vibe, Ben Cipolla and the Nouvelle House Band then take to the stage with their smooth pop, jazz and soul vocals, and finally local hip hop heroes JPDL and Yogi Beats bring an urban edge with their electronic, funk and soul tunes.
