As part of the “Arts in the Arcade” initiative in the Villa Marina Arcade, the Isle of Man Arts Council is pleased to announce the 2025 “Summer Season of Music”. A total of 2,210 people attended the concerts over the summer period in 2024 and this year the Arts Council are hoping even more will visit the Arcade to enjoy the free music and entertainment.
The summer concerts originally took place in the Sea Terminal in 1995 and have taken place in the Villa Marina Arcade since 2009. This 30th year of concerts will feature performances from some of the Island’s most loved brass bands and lunchtime concerts with the Mighty Wurlitzer organ being played by local and visiting organists.
The “Summer Season of Music” welcomes the Island’s brass bands to the stage during June, July, August on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Concerts starting at 7:30pm with doors at 7:00pm and 3:00pm with doors at 2:30pm respectively.
The popular lunchtime Wurlitzer concerts also return on Wednesdays throughout June, July and August at 1pm.
All concerts are free to attend.
Chair of the Isle of Man Arts Council, Sarah Maltby MHK said “The continued development of our long running Summer Music Series is a great opportunity for the whole community to freely enjoy the arts in an iconic venue situated in the very heart of the Cultural Area.”
The concert series starts with Ramsey Town Band on Tuesday 10th June at 7:30pm. The full line-up can be seen below.
