SHIVA ‘Live Dance & Club Anthems’ : Oval Summer Sundays

🎶 SHIVA Live: Summer Sunday Concert at The Oval 🌞🔥
Get ready for an unforgettable summer Sunday as SHIVA brings their high-energy, live club anthems to The Oval Bandstand & Lawns.
SHIVA Kent’s newest live dance band, delivering iconic club classics with serious style. Expect a powerful mix of house, UK garage, drum & bass, R&B and dancefloor anthems, all performed live with the energy and atmosphere of a club, but in the open air.
SHIVA rework some of the most loved club tracks and urban classics, blending big beats, driving basslines and standout vocals to create a set that’s built for dancing. This is feel-good, hands-in-the-air music — perfect for a summer afternoon with friends, family and fellow music lovers.
Our much-loved Summer Sundays concert series is back, bringing even more live music across a wider range of genres to The Oval Bandstand. SHIVA are guaranteed to turn the bandstand into an outdoor dancefloor and bring the party to Cliftonville.
