We’re thrilled to announce the first wave of the 2027 Rockaway Beach lineup – featuring a stack of artists we love, from icons to the next generation coming through.
Beyond the music, you can enjoy a range of unique experiences – from artist Q&As and discussions, to pub quizzes, arcade games, bowling, late night takeovers, silent discos, DJs, and access to a full indoor swimming complex and spa. With a variety of on-site accommodation options included – from hotel rooms to seaside chalets – all from around just £100 per person all-in, we’re once again offering you the ultimate escape to start the new year right. It all starts at Rockaway.
🎟️ 75% of rooms + tickets have already sold though, so lock in your place now at Butlin’s Bognor Regis via https://bit.ly/Rockaway2027 – and then ride out the rest of 2026 feeling good.
We’re immensely proud to bring you our 2027 edition, so thank you to all the artists and their teams for helping make this happen. From top to bottom, these are genuinely our favourite bands and artists right now.
We look forward to unpacking all this with you over the coming weeks, and taking you through exactly why we love them.
See you there. Thanks everyone! RB x
A Plea From Louder Than War
Louder Than War is run by a small but dedicated independent team, and we rely on the small amount of money we generate to keep the site running smoothly. Any money we do get is not lining the pockets of oligarchs or mad-cap billionaires dictating what our journalists are allowed to think and write, or hungry shareholders. We know times are tough, and we want to continue bringing you news on the most interesting releases, the latest gigs and anything else that tickles our fancy. We are not driven by profit, just pure enthusiasm for a scene that each and every one of us is passionate about.
To us, music and culture are eveything, without them, our very souls shrivel and die. We do not charge artists for the exposure we give them and to many, what we do is absolutely vital. Subscribing to one of our paid tiers takes just a minute, and each sign-up makes a huge impact, helping to keep the flame of independent music burning! Please click the button below to help.
