About us..

Welcome to Our world of live music!

Eastbourne Music Fest is your go-to destination for epic nights out filled with live music, party vibes, and unforgettable memories.

We host events throughout the year with unique themes that transform the iconic Eastbourne Town Hall into fully immersive, high-energy experiences – from Feel-Good Music nights & Aviation Afterparties, to Spooky Halloween and festive Christmas Parties.

Every event features a show-stopping line-up of the South’s top cover bands performing LIVE ON STAGE. Expect full-volume music, dancing, and non-stop energy with crowd-favourite tunes from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and beyond. Whether you’re into ultimate rock & metal anthems, indie & Britpop classics, or are wanting pure party tunes – our bands deliver the hits that get the whole room on their feet.

Big energy = big photo moments so keep an eye out for our official photographer who will be capturing all the best bits so keep your eyes on our socials after the event to see if you made the gallery!

We are committed to creating a relaxed and friendly environment where music lovers can come together to enjoy a fantastic night. Your safety and security are a high priority to us, and our friendly professional Security Team is always on-site to keep things safe, so you can focus on letting loose and having fun.

a local business for the local community.

Born out of a passion for live music, Eastbourne Music Fest was created to support local bands and bring people together during tough times – from the impact of Covid to the ongoing cost-of-living challenges. We’re all about community, connection, and championing great music in a fun and friendly environment.

Our goal is to make live music events more accessible and affordable for the local community. Additionally, we are dedicated to supporting charities through fundraising and raising awareness of their remarkable work.

"We are strong supporters of the NHS and the incredible work they do. To show our appreciation, we now offer a 20% discount on all our events for those working within the NHS and emergency services."

Our mission goes beyond just music. We believe in giving back. In the past year alone, we’ve:

🍴Donated over 1,000 tins to More Radio’s 10,000 Tins Appeal to support local food banks

🧸Supported the 2024 Toy Appeal by donating Christmas presents for children across the county.

🚣‍♂️Launched ‘25 for 25’, a 25-mile kayak fundraiser in aid of RNLI Eastbourne, raising money and awareness for water safety

live music events with a twist for the Ultimate feel-good night

Every Eastbourne Music Fest event is built around one simple goal: creating nights people genuinely love being part of.

We carefully hand-pick high-quality cover bands that know how to work a crowd, delivering that unmistakable feel-good energy with songs everyone knows and loves.

And it’s not just about the music. Each event features a bespoke sound and lighting set-up designed specifically for the night, bringing the room to life and adding that extra wow factor to every performance.

Expect big singalongs, packed dance floors and fully licensed bars — all coming together to create a true festival-style party atmosphere, with the added bonus of being indoors.

We transform the stunning Eastbourne Town Hall into a fully themed experience to match each unique event – from our feel-good music fest nights to spooky spectaculars, aviation-inspired afterparties, festive winter wonderlands, and everything in between.

The Town Hall is easy to get to with excellent public transport links and is just a 5 minute walk from Eastbourne Train Station.

This historic venue has step and ramp access at the front, and the main event space is on the first floor, accessible via stairs or a small lift. Please note the lift may not accommodate all wheelchairs. There are disabled toilets & facilities on the ground level. If you have any special requirements, feel free to reach out to us beforehand.

You are guaranteed to get in the party mood as soon as you walk into the room with our full lighting display and ready to receive dance floor. We will also have some cabaret seating, although we do recommend getting there early to secure a spot as we have a limited amount available. 

Doors will normally open at 6.15PM so you can get those drinks & snacks in from our fully stocked licensed bar.

Eastbourne Music Fest are set up to be relaxed and friendly feel-good events, and your safety and security is a high priority to us. Our on-site dedicated Security Team will be there to ensure this, and they will have a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to any negative behaviour.

Our aim is to make our events cater for all styles of music lovers, so whether you love to dance or want to catch up with friends and to listen to some great live music, it will be night to remember!

When you arrive, you will be welcomed by our team and provided with a wristband that will allow you to come and go as often as you like during the night. We highly recommend that you pre-order your tickets before you arrive to help you get ready to party quicker, but you can also buy them on the door.

We are dedicated to providing a safe environment for our guests and our zero tolerance approach is supported by our dedicated and highly experienced security team. Our events are 🔞18+ and if you are lucky enough to look younger than this 😊, our security team may ask you for some ID!

Please be aware that strictly NO ALCOHOL or FOOD not purchased from our amazingly stocked bar and refreshment areas can be brought into the event, and bags may be checked by our security team to ensure the safety of all our guests.

With such full-on intense events like ours, with pumping tunes and epic lighting productions, we understand that you may want to take a ‘breather’ so we have made it easier for you to leave and come back in as you please!

When you first arrive, we will scan your ticket (if you grabbed them in advance), and provide you with a wristband that you can wear for the duration of the night. This will allow you to simply show this to our security team whenever you leave and re-enter.

Please note that for the safety of our guests, we won’t allow drinks to be taken outside of the venue and when you re-enter you may have to have your bag checked again by our security team.

Tickets for each of our events will be available to buy online from the online ticket seller website, (there are links for each one on our Event page and also on our social media sites. We recommend this option for our guests to speed up your entry on the night and to ensure the best deal cost wise.

But, if you haven’t had a chance to grab your tickets, you will be able to buy them on the door during our events. Please see our ticket pricing for more information on our different rates and keep your eyes out for our promotions.

When we launch each event, we offer our guests a chance to grab tickets at a discounted price during our “early-bird” period.
The cut off dates and reduced prices will be displayed on each of our event pages on our website and social media sites. But do contact us if you need as we will be happy to help!
If you do miss this period, we do sometimes also have time limited offers so follow us on Facebook or keep an eye on our website to keep up to date with what’s coming up next and ensure you get the best deal!

For all of our events, Eastbourne Music Fest will provide a very well stocked licensed bar, serving a wide range of your favourite alcoholic and soft drinks, plus a range of bar snacks.

We aim to have something for everyone to keep you refreshed throughout the evening!

Our bars are open from when our event doors open at 6.15pm so you can get your refreshments in before our bands kick off.

Unfortunately, we do not allow our guests to bring in their own food and drink to our events and we do ask that our guests are responsible drinkers.

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our guests, our security team may ask to check your bags on entry and have a zero-tolerance approach to unfriendly behaviour.
