A RECORD number of visitors turned out to Port Solent for a free tribute concert which celebrated classic hits from music legends.
On Saturday, July 23, more than 11,000 music fans flocked to the waterfront boardwalk to enjoy a Totally Tributes concert which was the highest number of guests the venue has seen.
Concert goers watched performances from tribute band Forever Queen, It Must Be Madness, One Jovi and Imagine the Beatles.
The event showcased ‘magical’ musical medleys from the world of pop, ska and rock and roll.
Many visitors packed out the venue sporting fancy dress from throughout the decades to honour the event after being encouraged by event holders as a way to mark the occasion.

‘They were also able to relax at some of our wonderful bars and restaurants and enjoy all that Port Solent has to offer.
