Preview: TOGETHER THE PEOPLE Festival


TOGETHER THE PEOPLE Festival

Preston Park
Saturday 3rd – Sunday 4th September, 2016

We, the people of Brighton and its surroundings, tend to like a good independent, green, music, art & food related initiative. That’s why we honestly cannot wait for this year’s TOGETHER THE PEOPLE Festival.

How good is it? In 2015 the Eco-friendly festival was powered by bio-diesel & solar technology, re-cycled over 5.3 tonnes of waste and generated over £2,000 in public donations for local homeless charity ‘Brighton Housing Trust’.

Taking place in Preston Park on September 3rd & 4th, TOGETHER THE PEOPLE will run for the second time since its initial launch last year. Following last year’s successful line-up, this time we’re expecting killer performances by Brian Wilson (headlining Saturday) and Suede (headlining Sunday).

Other acts also include The Horrors, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Hiatus Kaiyote, Peter Hook & The Light performing Joy Division / New Order Greatest Hits, Natty and M. Ward.  Full line-up as well as the children’s programme can be found below.

The primary focus of TOGETHER THE PEOPLE is to celebrate music, food, community, film and arts within the city of Brighton by delivering a high quality, creative, family friendly and socially aware event.

This non-camping 2-day festival is suitable for all ages. Together The People will also feature an exhibition of new photography by University of Brighton students, as well as family-friendly photography workshops by Photoworks Photography.

Day tickets are now available for both days and tickets info can be found here.
