Rockaway Beach Festival is held in early January each year, just after New Years Day, in Butlins Bognor Regis, UK.
The lineup is usually 9 established acts, with a further collection of older bands and new artists.
The genres are mixed and you will hear indie, rock, pop, electronica and more at this wonderful indoor festival.
There are now 3 main stages, Studio 36, the largest venue and the main stage, Centre Stage, a large venue upstairs, and Reds, which mostly has DJ sets. There are also Q&A sessions each day, and CD & Vinyl record fair on Saturday and Sunday.
Highly recommended 3 day festival.
