This weekend marked the 20th birthday of the Spinnaker Tower! 🎉 Did you make it down to the celebrations?

For those who’ve lived in Portsmouth longer than that, it’s hard to imagine our skyline without it. The tower has become such an iconic part of the city.

Over the years, we’ve seen some incredible shots of the Spinnaker — and ’s has to be one of the best. 📸

On a sweltering summer evening in Portsmouth, Jake Bugg delivered a two-part performance that balanced introspective intimacy with stadium-ready energy, reaffirming his status as one of Britain’s most compelling singer-songwriters. As part of his Your Town tour, Portsmouth Guildhall provided the perfect setting for a night that celebrated both the roots and evolution of his sound.
