Moving into its fourth year, the UK’s punk, ska, dub and reggae Undercover Festival has moved to Brighton Racecourse, confirming a host of established and emerging artists across the two days. Running from the 9th to the 10th September 2016, Undercover will host the likes of Sonic Boom Six, The Tuts, The JB Conspiracy, PINTS and many more.
“Undercover Festival is back bigger and better with more stages and bands than ever before at our new home Brighton Racecourse,” organisers announced. “We are pleased to be able to move to Brighton, a city that is renowned for its appreciation of alternative “outside the box” music, and we are proud to add our festival to Brighton’s rich and varied culture.”
“Local bands are also an important part of this festival,” he continues, “we have tried where ever possible to book as many bands from or linked to Brighton and the South Coast as realistically possible, I suppose it would be rude not to, plus it would have been impossible to ignore the bands that this area have to offer as the range of talented bands in Brighton and the South Coast is breathtaking.”
