BSP, beside the sea: Brighton's finest headline oddly appealing event

by Mike Diver, pictures by Gary Wolstenholme [Edit this content] ▾ 0 comments 17:06 July 3rd, 2006

British Sea Power are to headline the Fort Rox event, held in East Sussex this August.

A six-band mini-festival (well, one further act is TBA), the event sees BSP play before the sun goes down at Newhaven Fort, high up on the cliffs. All over by 6pm, if the weather's sweet this promises to be quite special.

The line-up is as follows:

British Sea Power
The Duke Spirit
My Latest Novel
The Research
Charlottefield
Jacobs Stories

The date for your diary: Saturday August 12. The fund begins at midday and ends by six.

Tickets are a tenner, and are available from Rounder and Resident Records (01273 325440 and 606312 respectively), and from TicketWeb.

More information here, possibly.
