If you thought the festival season was over, think
again
Brighton gets back into the summer spirit in October as
a "City Festival" takes over the town - turning the beachfront and
city streets into a temporary festival sight and playing host to 100 acts in 14
arenas in a day and night event
One wristband will provide entry to 10 different venues
all within 500 meters of each other in what will be the biggest one day festival
ever to take place in the city.
7000 people will enjoy the event, headlined by 2 Many
DJs and Soulwax live. A plethora of other arenas will highlight musical styles
from across the spectrum, including:
Drum and bass with Adam F, Mampi Swift and DJ Hype
Techno with Laurent Garnier, Underground Resistance (live) and Green Velvet
Plus, Billy Nasty, Jim

DJ sets from: The Mystery Jets, Babyshambles ft Adam Ficek, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly and many
more being confirmed every day.
Although the lineup may be huge, the cost is not, with
a staggering £15 per ticket, making
it the most affordable festival that you will get to this year.
The event will run from 4pm to 4am, with the party
starting early with local talent at pubs and bars around the town. Then the
action moves to the clubs with venues including the huge 1800 capacity Tru, a
range of medium-sized clubs including the award-winning Ocean Rooms, the brand
new Digital, The Beach and The Arc. Smaller, intimate venues such as The King
& Queen will also be used for more eclectic musical styles. Because of the
venues’ close proximity to each other it will be easy to switch between them
without a mad dash through town, making for a real festival atmosphere.
Brighton City Festival comes at a time when Brighton
sits at forefront of the British music scene. The south coast town is a hotspot
for clubbers and party-goers and boasts an ever-expanding live scene. The
vibrant social atmosphere draws a massive crowd every week for the bars and
clubs with an eclectic range of music and line-ups to rival any London club.
Brighton City Festival is a display of this prominence, and showcases the
city’s lasting dedication to future entertainment.
If you live in Brighton, get prepared for the takeover.
If you don’t, get the Friday off work, book a hotel room and get yourself down
to the town for a hedonistic long weekend by the seaside
