Port of Cool

WELCOME TO THE PORT OF COOL

We’re incredibly excited to announce a brand-new day-long music festival coming to the coastal industrial landscape of The Sidings, Newhaven.

Brighton’s beloved Family Store are collaborating with Look Again to create a one-day music festival, the first of its kind in the town.

We've bought a  carefully curated mix of live music, DJs, local food, ABYSS craft beer, independent traders and perhaps a little bit of ritual to the day.

Embracing the very best in alternative, underground and left-field music. Some names you'll recognise, all of them are guaranteed to leave an impression. Line-up so far includes ; 

MEMORIALS (Headliners) , Paddy Steer, The Baby Seals, Minor Dents, Nick Granata (Shovel Dance Collective), M.Woodroe, Charlie Keen's Silver Birch, Nuclear Whale and Crab.

Plus DJ sets from Inner Strings and Ian Parton (The Go! team) + more!

A limited batch of Early Bird tickets is available now. Be quick — once they're gone, they're gone.

Under 14's are free entry. 14 and over are permitted but will have to buy a standard ticket and be accompanied by a responsible adult. 

Site is one minutes walk from Newhaven town train station.

(Part of the Towner BN9 programme)

The Sidings is located 200 meters from Newhaven Town railway station and bus stops for the 12 and 12a buses from Brighton & Eastbourne. (Please note, the 12x and 13x stop at Newhaven town centre only and not at the station.) 

There is free but limited parking in front of The Sidings, with more available just a short walk across the bridge at Dacre Road and West Quay carparks.
