The Icebreaker Festival is a music festival in Southsea, Portsmouth that showcases local and regional bands. The festival takes place across multiple venues, including The Wedgewood Rooms, The Vaults, and Edge of the Wedge.

Icebreaker Festival took place on Saturday, 1st February, and it certainly did not disappoint! Spanning eight venues and featuring over 100 bands and artists, the festival delivered a full day of diverse music across multiple genres.

Just like last year, Icebreaker partnered with Makemake Brewery to craft their very own Icebreaker pale ale. Available on tap at various festival venues, it proved to be a hit among attendees.

Beyond the fantastic venues, one of the standout aspects of Icebreaker is the sheer variety of live music. It’s always exciting to see people enjoying their longtime favourites while also discovering new artists.
