More free live music is set to take place in Cutts Close this weekend, provided by Oakham Town Council.

Despite objections to a number of live music events in the public green space last year - meaning that community use of the bandstand has been limited - the live music events have returned to Oakham's Cutts Close this summer.

A Rutland favourite, The Houndogs performed on 16 June for Father's Day, and once again encouraged a large crowd to get out and dancing in the sun.

Last week, the Rutland Concert Band took to the stage and performed a range of songs, new and old to a relaxed Sunday audience.

This weekend, The Atomics will be rocking and rolling their way into town, playing a range of tunes from the late 70s and 80s era - songs by Blondie, The Pretenders, The Police, Squeeze, The Cars, Nik Kershaw, Duran Duran, Elvis Costello and many more!

They will be playing from 2pm on 30 June.

Midnight City Band and Rutland Big Band have also been confirmed for the following two weekends, with more top local musicians on the lineup for the summer series.

The last of the summer music events will take place on Sunday 25 August from 12pm - 5pm and will welcome town local bands to finish the season: Out of the blue from 12 - 2pm, and Vespa from 3 - 5pm.

This bank holiday extravaganza will include additional fun for all the family:

  • Free music
  • The Grainstore
  • Fair rides 
  • Stalls
