Ditch the tents and wellies and head to Rockaway Beach, an indoor music festival bringing together the best emerging, breakthrough and established names from the alternative scene. If you’re going to make a new musical discovery this year, chances are, it’ll be here!

See The Charlatans, Getdown Services, SPRINTS, The Twilight Sad, Cockney Rejects, Joshua Idehen, Lucia & The Best Boys, Madra Salach, Sleeper and more live on stage, alongside guest DJs across the weekend.

And there’s plenty to keep you busy between sets. We’ve got pub quizzes, Q&As and record signings that get you closer to the artists. You can even dig through the crates at the vinyl fair and pick up some Rockaway Beach merch.

So, round up your mates and get ready for three days of alternative music — the bands you know, the ones you don’t yet, and maybe even your next favourite.

There’s more to our Big Weekenders than big-name acts and headline moments. While live performances sit at the heart of our massive weekenders, our daytime experiences add an extra dimension of fun, so you can play all day and night
