Maccabees Headline On The Beach Festival

0:00It's March 23rd, music news today starts now, AI powered and always on beat. The Maccabees are curating a full day at the on-the-beach festival next summer on Brighton Seafront. Their lineup for July 25th, 2026 features editors, Miles Kane, Anna Calvi, Ash, Badly Drawn Boy, and Lyme Garden. The band will headline from 1pm to 10.30pm. Other artists are handling nearby dates too. Bad Boy Slim hosts 3 days from July 17th to 19th. Madness takes over on July 24th, and Moby closes out on July 26th. For the Maccabees, this feels like coming full circle. They started playing small Brighton spots 20 years ago and never dreamed of headlining the beach. After a break since 2017, they returned last year with huge crowds at all points East and Glastonbury. The band has more big UK shows lined up this July, including Alexandra Palace Park in London, and the Eden Project in Cornwall, plus warm-ups in Edinburgh and Newcastle.
