Brighton Beach is set to hear chants of “Mon the Biff!” as the chart topping Biffy Clyro rock the beach and blast out anthems like ‘Mountains’ and ‘57’ to sport enthusiasts and musos alike… … and who knows, Simon Neil and co may become lightheaded from all the fresh sea air and do an impromptu acoustic set as Marmaduke Duke strumming hits such as “Rubber Lover” as the sun sets over the horizon.

This year's number-one selling success story, post-punk quartet White Lies, cult indie-rockers The Cribs and hometown legends, British Sea Power alongside other established acts and some of the hottest new bands around will light up the seafront in what promises to be a unique experience. There is something for everyone!

2 nights of music and 3 days of fantastic extreme sports such as World High Diving displays from a 30m tower into a 3m pool, Windsurfing, Thundercats, Jet Skis, Mixed Martial Arts, Scuba Diving…and lots, lots more.

“The festival is now in its 12th year and has gone from strength to strength, although the Isle of Wight was a superb setting for the festival in its early years; Brighton Beach compliments the ethos of the festival perfectly and we’re confident that with this setting, our top rate line-up, and over 40 extreme sports, that we’re set to put on one hell of a festival.
