A new and unique live music event is coming to Aldershot Lido next month, with the first Pool and Pop festival, featuring tributes to Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, and a DJ playing in between sets.

Rushmoor Borough Council and Places Leisure are excited to join forces with the team behind Aldershot’s Picnic & Pop Festival to present this brand-new unique event at the lido on Sunday 11 August. 

Pool & Pop will see the team’s trademark family-friendly festival transported to the town’s historic lido, where customers will be able to enjoy a day of fun in the sun in the pool and on the slides, accompanied by live music from top pop tribute acts, as well as a live DJ.  

There will be plenty of food and drink options from a variety of catering outlets and lots for children to do, with the paddling pool, sandpit and basketball court open as usual. 

Rushmoor Borough Council’s Cabinet member for Neighbourhood services, Councillor Becky Williams, said: “For those who love live music and enjoy the lido, this unique summer event is a must! We’re excited to offer residents an incredible live music experience in a beautiful setting at a fraction of the cost of other pop festivals. We hope local families and community members will join us for this wonderful event.” 

Organiser Oliver Cluskey who also organises the annual Picnic and Pop event in Aldershot this weekend, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to organise another family event in Aldershot, our home town. The lido is a fantastic facility, and we can’t wait to partner Rushmoor Borough Council and Places Leisure with Pool and Pop!” 

So come on down to the Lido for a truly one-of-a-kind experience of pop in the pool!  

Tickets can be booked through the Lido website.
