Beatwave 2026

BEATWAVE 2026

The 60's Garage Punk Surf Party by the Sea completes its first decade.

If you’ve already fallen under the Batspell of The Fratcave and been knocked out by the evenings of live villainous 60s-based punk rock and the spinning sounds of grime-busting snotty diskettes then you’ll know what to expect at BEATWAVE …just magnify it twelve fold.

With BEATWAVE we bring you a weekend of LIVE 60's Surf, Beat, Rock 'n' Roll and Garage Frenzy by the Sea, plus dynamite discs of top notch Ska, Psyche, R&B and Soul!

This is one Trash Bash not to be missed! So be planning to pack your string vest, plonk a knotted hanky on your head, wax down your ironing board and catch this BEATWAVE! Take a summer trip to Hastings, just follow the noise!

The full line up of bands and DJs will be announced in due course not forgetting our famous "Gameshow" with your host Louise and the legendary Juliet 'Mastermind' Harris in the Richard Osman seat at 2pm on Sunday 19th July.

Beatwave inc, established AD2016. Brought to you by the good folk at The Fratcave.
