Live At Preston Park

Live At Preston Park brings major artists of international acclaim to one of Brighton’s most iconic green spaces for open-air concerts at a remarkable scale. In 2026, the series hosted Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, bringing their live show to the heart of the city and marking the largest stand-alone ticketed event in Brighton's history.

On The Beach
Multi-date festival

On The Beach is a multi-date festival on Brighton’s pebble beach, co-organised by JOY. Concerts, Louder Entertainment and Concorde 2. Having debuted in 2021 on Brighton’s seafront, ‘On The Beach’ is now entering its fifth year on the south coast. With a programme of sold out shows that spans from Fatboy Slim, Chase & Status and Bicep to Royal Blood, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and The Kooks, On The Beach is a hugely impactful event in the UK’s festival circuit: driven by a desire to promote homegrown and local talent whilst showcasing unique and unmissable outdoor event spaces.

Wasing: On The Mount
Multi-date festival

The Mount at Wasing is a natural amphitheatre cut into ancient woodland on a Berkshire estate held by the same family since 1759, now in its seventh generation. Since 2023 it has staged headline shows for 6,000 people in a bowl ringed with
wildflower meadow and carved shrines, with audiences arriving on foot through a woodland trail.

With a programme that spans Paolo Nutini, Jungle, Jack Johnson, Sigur Rós, Pixies, Underworld and Ben Howard, The Mount has built a reputation as a venue artists ask to come back to.

Live At Hove Park
Multi-date festival

Live At Hove Park began in September 2026 with two open-air performances from Levellers and Passenger. Set in one of Brighton & Hove’s best-loved green spaces, the series brings standout artists to the city for live music in a setting that feels distinctly Brighton & Hove.
