About
Join us for the return of Southwick's annual Music Festival.
Two days. One barn. Zero chance of standing still !
Alive at the Barn 2026 is back for a fourth year, with a line-up of legends, loud guitars, sharp words, and pure joy.
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 theJohn Otway Big Band. Homemade food from 610pm!
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.
