Brighton's iconic beachfront is gearing up for an extraordinary celebration as the legendary The Maccabees return to their second home, Brighton to headline the On The Beach festival on Saturday 25th July 2026.
This summer, The Maccabees join us on Day 5, for a vibrant showcase at On The Beach, featuring our 1st live headliner for 2025. A full support line up will be announced in the coming months.
The Maccabees’ eagerly anticipated return felt more like a euphoric reunion between long-lost friends rather than a band reuniting for a second chance. Headlining All Points East and Glastonbury’s Park Stage, the band’s sheer joy was matched by the enthusiasm of the crowds: their ecstatic reaction reaffirming not just how loved The Maccabees were and indeed still are, but also a reminder of one of the greatest indie/alternative catalogues of the 21st century. Building upon that heady reception, The Maccabees are now set to inspire similar scenes across the country as they head out on a major outdoor summer tour in July 2026.
The Maccabees relocated to Brighton in their early years and performed frequently across the city, the band has openly expressed their affection for Brighton in interviews, highlighting their love for the city and its vibrant atmosphere.
The Maccabees exude a melodic, emotional, and increasingly sophisticated sound. Critics highlight a progression from their earlier, more upbeat indie-pop to expansive and atmospheric music, featuring a balance of powerful crescendos and vulnerable vocals. Recent reviews from their 2025 reunion shows note the powerful emotional impact of their classic songs and their passionate performance style.
