“Having previously hosted music royalty such as Dizzee Rascal and Shy FX and with a 10,000 capacity, this highly respected electronic dance music festival returns to the Waterhall ground on Sunday May 1, seeing off the first bank holiday of the year in style.

“A host of the biggest names in electro dance will take to the three stages, in a setting that promises countless Instagram opportunities, unparalleled decoration and a whole host of unique surprises.

“First launched at the East Brighton Park in the summer of 2019, the festival saw the legendary likes of Dizzee Rascal, Ocean Wisdom, Shy FX, Darkzy, Turno and many more take to the Main Stage, whilst the iconic Garage Nation took over the outdoor arena earning rave reviews and a loyal following wanting more.

“At the Festival for 2022, expect a party to the moon and back to make up for the 2 year enforced hibernation and experience an undiscovered galaxy far far away, as it circles back into our earth's orbit landing in the south coast for a truly spectacular comeback performance.”
