We’re delighted to announce a third edition of Rockaway Beach - a boutique indoor music festival held over three days. Truly unique, this exciting UK festival focuses only on the best emerging, breakthrough and established alternative artists.
Located in a seaside resort in Bognor Regis on the south coast of England, all the onsite accommodation is included in the ticket price and located within walking distance of the indoor music venues. This means festival-goers can focus on enjoying the music - regardless of the weather!
As you can see from the eclectic mix of artists we've had playing at Rockaway, we¹ve created a fantastic musical showcase which we hope will inspire audiences and artists to share their love of live music. Our inaugural 2015 event featured amazing sets from legends including Johnny Marr, Spiritualized and The Fall and enabled Beachgoers to discover some of their new favourite bands. The 2016 event featured barnstorming intimate sets from Suede,Killing Joke, St Etienne, We Are Scientists, Wire, the Wedding Present and many more. The event is over 18s only.
Butlin's Resort in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, is an enormous entertainment complex overlooking a beach in a beautiful part of the world. The festival venue has all the laughs you would expect from a resort including a giant water park, funfairs, dodgems, arcades, bars and a cinema all of which are open to fun-loving festival-goers. Whether you need a quick bite to refuel or a heartier meal, you’ll find something to suit all tastes at the various onsite dining options. Each of the main stages has superb bar facilities and there are also various pubs and sports bars on site.

With pool parties, a silent cinema, a silent disco and late night DJ sets, there’s plenty fun to be had between bands to keep the Rockaway party going (or distract you from your hangover!).
