The Maccabees said of the announcement: “When we were first starting out in Brighton, we did not imagine that 20 years on we would be headlining Brighton Beach. It is a very special thing for us to be doing this show outdoors on Brighton Beach and we intend to make this the best Maccabees show ever. Even better than the one at Concorde 2 that got us banned because fans were hanging from the ceiling. You will do well to hang from the ceiling at Brighton Beach.”
Matt Deverson, Managing Editor of Radio X, said: “In a year of huge comebacks, seeing The Maccabees return to the stage in 2025 felt really special, and to see them headline On The Beach in Brighton this summer – alongside a fantastic line-up packed with some of indie music’s defining talents – is a real must-see moment. We’re thrilled that Radio X is once again part of such an iconic summer event, and it’s set to be an unforgettable weekend for fans.”
Now entering its sixth year, On The Beach has become a defining part of Brighton’s summer calendar.
