Fest Information & FAQ

Welcome to Friend Fest 2.0. We're back on the lovely pebbled seafront in our hometown of Brighton.

First, and foremost, we're here for the music. This is a non-profit festival, the tickets are affordable, and all the money goes towards creating a line-up that we're super-stoked to see.

Secondly, as the name implies, it's about friends. We love the DIY punk scene and we want to play a big show with all our talented friends, and make new friends along the way.

Thirdly, it's about inclusivity, diversity, and community. We want to create a welcoming event where everyone feels at home and we're always doing our best to bring you a line-up that represents this. 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.

So come to Brighton, for a day or for the weekend. Early-bird tickets are on sale now. We look forward to seeing you (again?)

Love,
Making Friends x
