Pete Tong and DJ Sonny Fodera are the first acts announced for Brighton's On The Beach festival in 2027.

Pete Tong's Ibiza Classics show and DJ Sonny Fodera are the first acts announced for Brighton's On The Beach festival in 2027. Tong will perform at the season opening party on 9 July with the Essential Orchestra conducted by Tom Richards, while Fodera takes to the stage on 24 July.

The festival returns to Brighton beach for its seventh edition. Previous editions have hosted Fatboy Slim, Madness, The Maccabees and Moby. Festival organisers said the 2025 event generated more than £8.3 million for Brighton's economy, attracting about 59,000 attendees and supporting more than 300 jobs, with over £3 million in visitor spending across local businesses, accommodation and hospitality.

Councillor David McGregor said Brighton council was delighted that On the Beach would return. He said events were critical to making Brighton and Hove distinctive and brought significant benefits to communities and the economy, describing last year's event as creating a 'second-to-none experience for visitors and residents alike'. A spokesperson for On the Beach said the Pete Tong and Sonny Fodera shows were 'a first taste of what's to come' with more acts to be announced.
