Bath Voice News: put your glad rags on and slip into your dancing shoes for Party in the City on Friday 16th May, 2025 – part of Bath Festival

From Bath Festivals: Thousands of music lovers will head to Bath city centre on Friday 16 May from 5pm for Party in the City, where the sound of live music will spill out of pubs, clubs, churches, museums and galleries, and into the streets. Some 2,000 singers and musicians will play at 39 venues and it’s completely free to attend – so save the date. 
 Stay in one place for the duration of the evening, or move from venue to venue to enjoy live performances from much-loved local bands through to emerging talent. There is something for every taste, offering 16 genres of music. Enjoy everything from acoustic/pop, blues, folk, funk/soul, jazz and blues, and indie/rock through to choral and classical. Hear live music at Komedia, in Parade Gardens, the Guildhall, Bath Abbey, Green Park Station and many other venues around the city.
