Nashville heart meets Southsea soul.

Country on the Coast is an award-winning, independent festival that brings the magic of a Tennessee listening room to the iconic South Parade Pier. Far more than just a weekend of music, it’s a dedicated platform for the very best in UK and international country, folk, and Americana.

Whether you're a lifelong country fan or just love discovering new music, COTC offers an experience you won't find anywhere else.
