We're reluctantly bringing back Interstellar Food Drive this year. Hopefully, one day, we won't have to run these, but until then, we do what we can.

We have lots of amazing acts kindly giving up their time in support of the event.

All proceeds go to Portsmouth Food Bank.

£9 in advance + booking fees for lots of great artists, and you'll be doing a wonderful thing. Win-win.

See you at Portsmouth’s newest space, Kola.

The Interstellar Food Drive reluctantly returns for 2025, taking place at Portsmouth’s newest space being the wonderful Kola.

Hosted by a collective of Portsmouth labels, promoters and artists, the Interstellar Food Drive sees some of those within the creative community come together to help Portsmouth Food Bank during the continued rise of usage of food banks, due to austerity and cuts.

£9 in advance and all proceeds go to Portsmouth Food Bank. An absolute bargain, for some of Hampshire's finest emerging artists.

This year, instead of donations, Interstellar Food Bank will be paid entry due to logistics of taking donations, but all proceeds will still be going towards Portsmouth Food Bank and we ask that any physical donations that you may be able to make, can still be taken to local supermarkets yearly. We hope you understand and we thank everyone for the continued support.
