Fest Information & FAQ
Welcome to the first, and hopefully not the last, Friend Fest. We wanted to celebrate our extremely talented friends whose bands we’ve been lucky enough to play with over the years so we decided to put on an all-dayer (ish), on the lovely pebbled seafront in our hometown of Brighton.
The main event will take place at Daltons, Brighton on March the 1st 2025.
Buuuut…
There’s a warm up show! We couldn’t fit all our favourite bands on to a 12-13 band line up so we’ve booked The Pipeline Brighton the night before for a warm up show! (Even with this our standby list is bursting at the seams)
Dan, Pete, Bill and Ryan.
All Friend Fest events will have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination.
Have fun, enjoy the festival, but above all be kind.

Can my band play Friend Fest?
We can't even manage to fit all our best friends' bands in next year so we're already planning the 2026 line-up to rectify this. If you're interested in playing in the future feel free to let us know and we'll add you to the list.
