The Maccabees returned to the stage in 2025 with landmark sets at All Points East and Glastonbury’s Park Stage, reaffirming the enduring cultural weight of one of the most distinctive catalogues in British alternative music. Having spent formative years in Brighton, their return – headlining On The Beach’s iconic seafront stage – marks a full-circle moment.
The day is set to bring together a wide-reaching cross-section of British indie artists. Editors arrive with a catalogue shaped by constant reinvention; Miles Kane continues his latest chapter following the release of his recent album Sunlight In The Shadows; Anna Calvi brings one of the most distinctive live performances in British music; Ash their enduring catalogue and live reputation; Badly Drawn Boy a rare festival appearanceand Brighton’s own Lime Garden represent the next wave of the city’s scene.
Five of the seven of this year’s On The Beach series are sold out, this marks one of the final opportunities to experience the festival on Brighton seafront this summer.
