Two fundraisers for this year’s Peace in the Park festival are set to happen this weekend – Friday the 21st at the Riverside and Saturday the 22nd at the Redhouse, writes festival volunteer Chris Arnold.

As many of you may know, lack of funds meant that Peace in the Park was unable to go ahead in 2013, to the disappointment of many Sheffield locals. The festival is looking a lot stronger financially this year but still needs those all important funds raised from multiple events in the run up to June. Purveyors of all things fun Cool Beans are taking care of Friday night at the Riverside whilst Saturday is being hosted by Sheffield reggae stalwarts Dubcentral, both events incorporating a mixture of live music and DJs.

Friday at the Riverside is £6 to get in and features live sets from:

RENEGADE BRASS BAND
THE BALKAN BANDITS
BONGO & THE SOUL JAR
CARL “ON FIRE” WATKINS

Saturday at the Redhouse is £4 to get in and features live sets from…
STEEL CITY RHYTHM
MOOSH

All profits raised go straight to Peace in the Park and help make the occurrence of this year’s festival a certainty. You can find more info on Facebook for Friday’s event here and for Saturday’s event here.
