Darts stars set to light up Bournemouth as South Coast Showdown Returns

Bournemouth is gearing up for a thrilling night of top-tier darts action as the South Coast Showdown returns for its second edition at the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) this May.

The highly anticipated exhibition, hosted by ZH Live, will take place on Friday, May 10, and promises an electric atmosphere as some of the sport’s biggest names take to the oche.

Leading the line-up is teenage darts prodigy Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler, whose meteoric rise through the professional ranks has made him one of the most talked-about players in the world. Littler, who is already tipped as a frontrunner for the 2025 World Darts Championship, will be the star attraction on what’s expected to be an unforgettable night for fans on the south coast.

Joining him are a host of seasoned darts icons, including two-time World Champion Peter ‘Snakebite’ Wright, known as much for his colourful attire as his clinical finishing. The line-up also features former Premier League champion James ‘The Machine’ Wade and Welsh star Jonny ‘The Ferret’ Clayton, ensuring the evening will be packed with skill, personality, and fierce competition.

South Coast Showdown II follows the success of the event’s first edition and looks set to draw darts enthusiasts from across the region. Whether you’re a long-time follower of the sport or a newcomer hoping to witness world-class talent in action, the night promises entertainment both on and off the stage.

Tickets for the event are on sale now via the BIC’s website at bic.co.uk, priced at £44.50, with group discounts available for larger bookings.
