On The Beach Brighton Returns For 2025

On The Beach, an iconic festival known for its wide variety of music and unique location is set to return to Brighton this July 2025!

If you’re a music lover or festival-goer looking to party hard during the summer season (with no need to camp in a bogged-down field), this might be the one for you. Last year, 10,000 people attended On The Beach, so you can expect it to be even bigger this year.

Located on Brighton Beach itself, this unorthodox festival offers an experience different from others

What’s in store at On The Beach Brighton in 2025?

Spread over two weekends in July, the seafront festival is gearing up to provide a variety of music genres. Whether you’re into electronic, indie, rock or alternative, there will be something to cater to everyone’s taste.

An initial line-up has been announced, with more to follow. Headliners which have been announced so far include:

  • Friday 18th of July, Bonobo: This Brighton-born DJ is set to perform his outlier series. Previously performed in London and New York, his music combines electronic sub-genres to create a soft yet impactful experience.
  • Sunday 20th of July, Bloc Party: Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Silent Alarm, the indie rock band are set to showcase their all-time greatest hits.
  • Sunday 27th of July, Kaiser Chiefs: Anticipated to perform their hit song, I Predict A Riot, the alternative band Kaiser Chiefs are also celebrating their debut album Employment. Originally from Leeds, the British band has become legendary within the rock music scene.

Along with the headliners, there will be a range of secondary acts. The festival has a history of combining both headline and aspiring artists, reflecting everything that Brighton and its people stand for.

Beyond the music, On The Beach will offer a variety of food and drink vendors to keep you refreshed, including vegan and vegetarian options, so needn’t worry.

Tickets for the event are dependent on what artist you want to watch or day you want to attend. Ticket prices vary and can be found at the On The Beach website.
