IT IS set to be one of the biggest events in Southampton this summer.

FestivAll will host some of the biggest names in the music industry including Alesha Dixon and The Hoosiers at Mayflower Park.

The one-day festival on July 29 has been designed to facilitate people of all ages and will showcase a diverse mix of music including some of the city's best unsigned acts as well as more household names - which will be announced next week when the early bird tickets are available for purchase.

Southampton born Radio One DJ, Scott Mills will host the whole event which expects to attract an attendance of more than 10,000.

As well as musical entertainment there will be a comedy tent where the likes of Tom Deacon and And Stewart Francis will have attendees sniggering.

Special VIP tickets that will allow attendees an elevated view of the whole site, will also be available for purchase.

There will be food and drink stalls throughout the day and evening.

Children can also enjoy the day in the "TinyFest" tent, which promises "a big day out for little people".

The tent's entertainment ranges from face paint and petting zoo to a Little Mix tribute band.

Nine times, Guinness World Records champions Bubble Inc will be performing their world renown bubble show in the tent.

In the ElectroLove Lounge festival-goers will go back in musical time with retro tribute acts.

Mayflower Park has previously played host to Fake Fest and the city's largest firework display in autumn, however this will be the largest live event that the park has held in recent times.

The festival's charity partner, The Saints Foundation, will be hosting a 'Legends Penalty Shoot Out’ alongside the Saints Academy where children can take on some of most famous faces of Southampton Football club.

A spokesperson for the Saints Foundation said: "Saints Foundation is delighted to be working with FestivAll, a welcome and exciting addition to Southampton’s event calendar. We look forward to meeting lots of people from across the region at this unique event."

The festival will be accessible to able and disabled attendees as well as children in pushchairs.

A spokesperson for FestivAll said: "We would like to see more credible events in Southampton that are a safe and enjoyable environment for the residents.

The festival will kick off at midday and finish at 11pm.
