We’re delighted to announce a fifth 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, and The Wedding Present. 2018 saw the final ever festival performance from Wild Beasts plus The Horrors, Alabama 3, The Orb, Peter Hook & the Light. 2019’s event saw an performances from Gary Numan, Maximo Park, Echo and the Bunnymen, artist Q&As, exhibitions, DJ sets and much more.
The event is over 18s only.
