TGt Meets…Family Fest Dorset

Family Fest is returning for 2025! Get to know one of their upcoming live performers - band Sunsets Acoustic.

1. Tell us about the type of music you make and a hint into what your set will be like.

We are an eclectic covers band with a wide variety of genres up our sleeve! We love to play something for everyone so expect a mixture of genres such as pop, rock, country, funk and indie from across the decades.

2. How many festivals have you played? Do you have a favourite so far?

We have played quite a few different local festivals over the last couple of years. One of our highlights from last year was a summer festival held at The Pour House in Ringwood, it was a great atmosphere, lovely crowd and staff and a perfect family friendly event!

3. Which one of your songs gets the most high-energy response from a live crowd?

We have a couple of favourites that always get a good response! Proud Mary by Tina Turner is a good one for people wanting to have a dance or What’s Up by 4 non blondes is a great singalong anthem!

4. Whether you’re attending or performing, what’s your favourite thing about festivals?

Live music is always great at Festivals! But aside from that, we are all big food lovers so we love trying the different types of food they have!

5. Family Fest Dorset have over 10 live music acts from local musicians across Saturday and Sunday. Which other performance do you want to catch?

We’re really excited to catch Lottie and Rudimentalists!

6. How does the atmosphere at outdoor festivals like Family Fest compare to indoor venues?

Festivals in particular always have such an amazing atmosphere! People are usually much more free an up for getting into it! Events like Family Fest are great where all ages can be there and get involved!

7. Do you have any pre-show rituals before you head on stage?

We have what we like to call the Sunsets solidarity fist bump! Just a nice moment between us all that says we’ve got this so we can bring the energy for the audience and support each other!
