At the Edge of the Sea 2026: Indie Rock and C86 in Brighton

At the Edge of the Sea returns on August 7-8, 2026, to Concorde 2, Brighton, United Kingdom, for a weekend dedicated to the British indie rock scene and the C86 movement. This intimate festival celebrates artists who shaped the alternative indie sound of the 80s-90s and those perpetuating its legacy today. Concorde 2, a legendary venue in Brighton's music scene, offers the perfect setting to rediscover these cult formations in a friendly, passionate atmosphere.

The 2026 lineup brings together emblematic figures from the British indie scene. The Wedding Present, pioneers of 80s jangle pop and noise pop, will share the bill with Cinerama, David Gedge's parallel project exploring more orchestral territories. Blueboy will embody the dreamy spirit of C86, while Prolapse brings more abrasive post-punk energy.

Musically, the festival explores the roots and evolutions of British indie: C86 for jangly guitars and DIY melodies, indie rock for more energetic compositions, post-punk for new wave and art rock influences. This programming reflects the independent and creative spirit of the British alternative scene, between nostalgia and discoveries. Brighton's seaside setting adds a summery dimension to this celebration of indie culture.

Join us on August 7-8, 2026, at Concorde 2 for a weekend of guitars and timeless melodies. At the Edge of the Sea is the meeting place for authentic indie rock lovers by the English Channel.
