Now, the band - comprised of Orlando Weeks, Felix White, Hugo White, Rupert Jarvis, Sam Doyle - will play an equally special headline date on Brighton seafront on Saturday 25th July, returning to the place they spent much of their early years as a band.

As announced exclusively by on Radio X in a special co-host slot with Felix on Dan O'Connell's Evening Show, the Marks To Prove It five-piece will be joined on the cobbles by a host of acts on a specially-curated line-up, including Editors, Miles Kane, Anna Calvi, Ash, Badly Drawn Boy and more.

The Maccabees said: “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.”
