One of the most iconic British bands in the long history of iconic British bands, we can't wait to have Public Image Ltd headline Rockaway Beach 2026, January 2-5 in Butlin's Bognor Regis. Tix: bit.ly/Rockaway26

As you may have clocked, Rockaway Beach 2026 falls a little earlier this year, with proceedings kicking off on January 2nd. And we've decided to make the bold move of moving New Year's Eve to the 2nd of January…

We're on Substack! Hit subscribe at rockawaybeach.substack.com, and check out our first article, where we lift the curtain on what it's like booking a line up for an independent festival.

Brighton-based Swallowtail are creating some of the most exciting sounds in the country right now. Their swirling, euphoric take on shoegazing post-punk calls to mind dignitaries of the genre Sonic Youth and The Twilight Sad, whilst remaining new, fresh and crucial.

Prima Queen are best friends. When Louise and Kristin met at university, an instant bond was formed and, not long later, so was their band. Their debut album, The Prize, is a vibrant celebration of that friendship, ambition, and life’s beautiful contradictions. RB26 passes: bit.ly/Rockaway26

Full of lurching verses and fist-to-sky choruses, Glasgow punks Humour's music is made for Rockaway Beach. With their debut album, Learning Greek, out at the beginning of August they're set for a mega few months and an even more mega few years. For them, RB might just be the tip of the iceberg.

We couldn't be happier seeing Fontaines D.C go from strength to strength ever since their debut festival headline slot with us back in 2020. Who's joining them at Finsbury Park this weekend for their biggest headline show to date? 😳

Some words on this weekend’s top-tier English Teacher performance at #Glastonbury. We’re very excited to have the current Mercury Prize-holders confirmed to join us in January as one our headliners - with your third headliner to be announced later this summer. 🎟️: www.RockawayBeach.co.uk

In many ways Insecure Men – the band led by the fiercely talented songwriter and musician Saul Adamczewski and his schoolmate and stabilising influence, Ben Romans-Hopcraft – are the polar opposite of the Fat White Family.

We Hate You Please Die are one of the most vital new voices in the thriving French punk scene; fusing hardcore, noise and post-punk as they tackle socio-political issues. We're so excited to welcome them to Rockaway in January. 2026 passes: bit.ly/Rockaway26

Butlins' brand new, state of the art venue, Studio 36 saw us host Rockaway Beach's most electrifying and breathtaking headline sets this last January. We can't wait to be back in there with Public Image Ltd and more in 2026!

Sitting somewhere between 00’s indie and 80’s hardcore, Bruise Control have carved themselves an unlikely name in DIY punk. In their wake they’ve left a handful of self-produced releases and a notoriety for chaotic live shows. We can't wait to witness the latter for ourselves. 🎟️ bit.ly/Rockaway26

We’re pretty damn excited to announce that Rockaway Beach will be heading to this year's Stag & Dagger in Glasgow on May 3rd, taking over The Garage main stage with a line-up of raucous brilliance: Big Special, Vundabar, and Daytime TV.
