Ukraine Benefit Concert

  • Portsmouth Cathedral (map)

Ports Fest present a Ukraine benefit concert featuring Carlos Bonell and friends.

£20 + booking fees

Organised by Ports Fest. Tickets only available online.

One of the key features of Ports Fest is to give back to the community through our events and providing a platform for local artists. However, our passion for helping doesn’t end there. Much like everyone else, we have felt incredibly saddened to hear of the attack on Ukraine and have been thinking of ways we can provide useful help. It is because of this that we are over the moon to announce that we will be hosting a Ukraine Benefit Concert on June 15th featuring Carlos Bonell and friends.


All proceeds will be going to Doctors Without Borders’ Ukraine appeal. Please support this Ports Fest cause and come and see one of the greatest communicators of the guitar world with support from other national and local musicians.
