About

Rockaway Beach is an indoor weekender held every January at Butlin’s in Bognor Regis. You stay in the resort’s chalets and walk to the stages, which takes the cold and the camping out of the equation.The music is indie, post-punk, alternative and electronic, with cult heroes, current critics’ favourites and new bands, and plenty of DJs. The crowd knows its stuff, and the seaside setting out of season is part of the charm.
