Johnny Marr, Spiritualized and Young Fathers have been confirmed as the headliners for the inaugural Rockaway Beach Festival, a brand new eclectic music festival.

The festival, which runs from 9th-12th October at Butlin’s Bognor Regis, the event will be bringing together a selection of the best emerging, breakthrough and established alternative artists, creating an environment where audience and artist can get close and share their love of music.

Festival Organiser, Ian Crowther of The Way of Music, says “The inspiration for Rockaway Beach comes from the excitement of hearing great music for the first time. I wanted to bring together a selection of today’s leading alternative artists to showcase new music. Butlin’s Bognor Regis was the first choice location as all show venues are indoor with exceptional sound quality. On-site accommodation and access to great food and drink means that we can give festival-goers the best weekend experience. Rockaway Beach will be an intimate festival allowing audience and artist to get close and share their love of music.”

Other acts confirmed so far include The Fall, Pinkshinyultrablast, Whyte Horses, Cult of Dom Keller, The Telescopes, Lola Colt, St Deluxe, The Monchrome Set, Matinee, The Band of Holy Joy, Skinny Girl Diet and Miaoux Miaoux.
