Saturday night is a celebration of the artists shaping the local scene right now, featuring original music, fabulous covers, big personalities, and the kind of live performances that remind you why grassroots music matters!

One of the Festival’s most-loved events, the Dragon Boat Race, is returning again in 2026! 🚣 🐲

On the 29th August, the race will bring teams of rowers together for a thrilling day of racing on the River Arun. Whether you’re paddling for the community, charity, for the glory or just eternal riverside bragging rights - it’s high-energy, hilarious, and not to be missed.

Want to take part?
All you need to do is grab your friends, get your best fancy dress ready (optional, but encouraged), and email [email protected] to express your interest! Boats are limited, and we are unable to add more, so please get in touch as soon as possible!

Last year, Abbamagic UK - ABBA Tribute Show absolutely brought the house down (or should we say the High Street), and this year they’re headlining our brand new Party on the Pitch at Arundel Football Club for the very first time as part of our 2026 Arundel Music Festival ⚽️

Friday 17 July 2026
6pm–11pm (doors 5:30pm)

And a little warning… Last year SOLD OUT.
We had so many messages from disappointed people who thought they could grab tickets later. Unfortunately, once capacity is reached, that’s it.
Capacity is limited, demand will be high, and this one is going to go QUICKLY.

So if you want to dance, sing, smile and party with us this summer, don’t hang about. Grab your tickets while you can.
