Jon Weaver, festival director, said: “We have the UK’s best free air, land and sea show right here on our award-winning blue-flag beaches and this year is set to be one of the best yet.
“With the news the Red Arrows will be performing every day with a very special Platinum Jubilee sequence, we are now starting to get very excited.”
“We have some more surprises up our sleeves too. With the mix of fast jets, acrobatic aircraft, parachuting teams and heritage aircraft our festival will this year give those on the ground goosebumps.”
Councillor Beverley Dunlop, portfolio holder for tourism, culture and vibrant Places, said: “I’m so proud that we have the biggest free air, sea and land festival right here on our beautiful south coast.
“Thousands typically descend on to Bournemouth’s beaches for the event – in fact 800,000 visitors came in 2019, which puts it is the largest single audience of any aviation event in Europe."
Other displays confirmed for this year’s festival include the Typhoon, Chinook, Tigers Freefall Parachute Display Team, Jett Pitts Muscle Bi Plane and The Blades.
The Typhoon, Tigers and 'Otto' the helicopter are set to wow the crowds at the dusk display.
Last year's festival attracted around 800,000 people.
