Alive at The Barn – Music Festival | Join us for the return of Southwick’s annual Music Festival ….

Friday 24th & Saturday 25th July

Two days. One barn. Zero chance of standing still!

Alive at the Barn is back for a fourth year, with a line-up of legends, loud guitars, sharp words, and pure joy. Compered all weekend by Attila the Stockbroker

From ska and punk to poetic chaos and full-on live performance, this is a proper grassroots music festival where the bands are close and the crowd is family.

Friday night kicks off from 6.30pm with PHAT Problem, Henry Normal, Dakka Skanks and a huge headline set from the John Otway Big Band. Homemade food from 6–10pm!

Saturday goes big from 1.30pm with an all-day run of absolute crackers including Gripper Lee, Noir Mates, Muddy Summers and The Dirty Field Whores, Jess Silk, Scare Taxi, Newtown Neurotics, TV Smith, Mark Thomas, and a storming close from Too Many Crooks.
Food served through the day and evening, music rolling non-stop till 11pm.

Tickets:

Friday – £20 advance / £25 on the door Saturday – £22 advance / £25 on the door
Come for one day or lose yourself for the whole weekend.
Alive at the Barn 2026 is where live music lives loud, local, and unforgettable.
