Residents in Folkestone, Kent, can choose from a wide range of live music events this weekend, including folk-rock, 80s hits, and techno dance nights. The performances take place across the weekend of 20 March and 21 March 2026 at several local venues, highlighting the town’s varied entertainment scene.

On Friday, 20 March 2026, the folk-rock group Lindisfarne will perform at the Quarterhouse. On the same evening, Leas Cliff Hall is hosting an 80s tribute show called Calling Planet Earth.

The local music scene also features the Folkestone Techno Social at The Blind Pig. Meanwhile, The Blue Moon Club Bar & Kitchen will host a Swing Jive Hop DJ Night for residents and visitors.

These performances are part of the town’s work as the world’s first official Music Town, a title Folkestone received in 2019. The project was started to help support local venues and make music a central part of the community.
