The first Sunday of June at The Waterfront is usually the point where the season locks in. The Geckos play the Sunday Live slot on 7 June, and the early summer timing makes this one of the more atmospheric in the series: long afternoon light, the Solent calm in June, and the western end of the island still quiet enough that the Totland promenade feels like something you have discovered rather than shared.
The Geckos are a band built for outdoor venues and afternoon sets: the sound is big enough to fill the terrace without pushing people indoors, and the energy lifts through the three hours rather than peaking early. June Sunday afternoons at The Waterfront tend to draw a mix of families finishing a weekend walk and couples who have come specifically for the music, and the format accommodates both without either feeling out of place.
Free entry, no booking. Food served through the afternoon. The Waterfront faces the Solent at Totland Bay. More music events across the island this summer.
