Brighton Racecourse, BN2 9XZ
9th & 10th September 2016
The South East’s truly “alternative” and “independent” festival.
The search for a new home for Undercover Festival is over says Festival Organiser Mick Moriarty; Undercover Festival is back bigger and better with more stages and bands than ever before at our new home Brighton Racecourse. We are pleased to be able to move to Brighton, a city that is renowned for its appreciation of alternative “outside the box” music, and we are proud to add our festival to Brightonís rich and varied culture.
UNDERCOVER FESTIVAL a 2 day festival of alternative music including Punk / Ska / Dub / Reggae / Alt / Acoustic + so much more.
The festival is one that prides itself on taking an independent and grassroots approach to things, and is always determined to be different from mainstream events.
As the name suggests, it’s an indoor event but with two days of alternative action from bands youíd be highly unlikely to see on many other festival line-ups.
Mick Moriarty said: “We believe the usual run-of-the-mill festivals tend to book bands that in the main are broadly similar ñ and way too safe! We try for a line up and experience that is something different and appeals to a crowd not catered for elsewhere.
“Being a small independent grassroots festival is tough because media attention is always on the big boys. But weíve got through to our fourth year and weíre going strong because what we have created really has struck a chord with people who like their music raw and full of the passion and energy that only acts like ours generate.”
The festival grew out of a small tent tucked in the back corner of the sadly departed GuilFest in Surrey and has now become a firm fixture in many peopleís diaries, with dedicated fans coming back year on year.
UNDERCOVER FESTIVAL set in and around the unique setting of Brighton Racecourse, a festival venue and experience that defies all other conventions and festival templates.
The nature of the venue ensures that everything is nearby; no long walks between stages, parking is free, and camping is available literally a short one minute walk from the festival proper.
In a financial climate where it always seems to be about the money, Undercover throws convention to the wind and just goes with what it believes in. There is a huge lineup and tickets can be bought in advance online of from various locations details from www.undercoverfest.com, Early Bird Tickets on sale now!
