Pete Roth live in Swanage

Experience Pete Roth live on July 11th

Pete Roth will be performing at Sandpit Field in Swanage, Dorset, on July 11th, 2026. Roth is a musician known for his blend of blues, rock, and Americana influences, often incorporating slide guitar and harmonica into his performances. His style draws comparisons to artists like Ry Cooder and early Eric Clapton, with lyrical themes frequently exploring themes of travel, reflection and everyday life. He has released several albums to critical acclaim within the UK blues scene and regularly tours throughout the country.

Sandpit Field is a frequently used open space within Swanage, situated close to the town centre and beach. Historically a quarry – hence the name – it was repurposed as a recreational area for residents and visitors. It’s a popular venue for local events including fairs, circuses and smaller-scale concerts due to its relatively flat terrain and central location. The field is managed by Swanage Town Council and provides a versatile outdoor space for community activities. Its capacity for events is estimated to be around 2000 people depending on stage placement and safety considerations. It has hosted musical performances intermittently over the past decade.
