SOUTHAMPTON can look forward to painting the town red, as well as blue, yellow and green next year, as the festival of colour, Holi One, is set to come to the city on a new 17- date tour.

Mayflower Park will be the venue as people dress in white and cover each other with brightly coloured powder, on the hour, every hour, whilst enjoying live dance music on June 7.

The event will see people entertained by some of the best local and international DJs and Holi One organisers are encouraging Southampton’s talent to get in touch with them as they plan the festival.

Last year, Holi One Colour festivals were attended by 100,000 people worldwide and took place across cities and countries that included London, South Africa and Berlin.
