Hastings' favourite night of revelry returns in 2025 with an array of musical delights, so dust off your beads and boas!
Opening the night is festival favourites Ríoghnach Connolly and Honeyfeet with their eclectic taste for musical adventure. Together, they drive a broad terrain of musical textures, with foot-tapping and floor-thumping dance rhythms.
Then don't miss the much anticipated return of the legendary Mr Wilson's Second Liners, a traditional New Orleans style second line band paying homage to the diehard days of the Hacienda and 90s club culture.
Keep on dancing to the tracks spun by two legendary dance DJs Justin Robertson and John Carter. Robertson is a producer and dj, who brings with him a rich history as one of the creators of the Electronic Music scene, whilst Carter was instrumental in developing the form of electronic dance music that became known as big beat, with its mix of rock, hip hop and breakbeat.
New for 2025- join the late night party in the White Rock Theatre Studio where Civil Partners (in Crime) Lemur Beats will take you on a genre-blurring, time-hopping journey through house, techno, afro-disko, twisted global funk and more.
Don't miss it!

Hastings Fat Tuesday Music Festival will return in its full form in 2025. Some funding has been secured to deliver a full festival, but we still need a little extra help to allow us to keep the main festival elements free for all, including our community and school umbrella workshops, our family parade and our main music tours. Please consider adding a donation to your ticket.
