At The Edge Of The Sea
| 'At The Edge Of The Sea' is an all-day indoor mini-festival curated by David Gedge which takes place at the legendary Concorde 2 venue on the historic seafront at Brighton in England every August. Both of David's own groups [Cinerama and The Wedding Present] appear each year.
The 12th edition of At The Edge Of The Sea was to have taken place on 15 August 2020 but it has now been rescheduled to 14 August 2021. It will be book-ended by events on 13 & 15 August 2021. David Gedge says: “As you may know, 'At The Edge Of The Sea' is my favourite weekend of the year and so it’s with great sadness that we have taken the decision to cancel this year’s event. All tickets purchased for 2020 will be valid for 2021. Obviously, if you would prefer to obtain a refund, please get in touch with the ticket outlet at which you originally bought your tickets. We are aware that many people travel to Brighton for the festival and we hope that you’ll be able to change your travel plans. “There is one little change to the festival that we are going to make for next year. Because 2021 is the 30th anniversary of the 'Seamonsters' album, we have decided that The Wedding Present will perform that record on the Saturday night. However, we will still be performing 'Take Fountain' on the Friday night.” 13/08 : Brighton, UK - Concorde 2 ~ Wristband exchange from 4PM [save time and avoid queuing by getting your festival passes early!] 13/08 : Brighton, UK - Concorde 2 ~ The Wedding Present and At The Edge Of The Sea proudly present a special '16th anniversary' performance of Take Fountain - plus other songs - in a 90 minute set.

Many 'At The Edge Of The Sea' fans travelling from outside of Sussex camp at the Brighton Caravan Club Site [East Brighton Park, Brighton BN2 5TS] which is near to the restaurants of the Brighton Marina and just 1.5 miles from Concorde 2. The site takes bookings for August from February onwards. Those not keen on camping may be interested to know that less expensive accommodation may be found outside of Brighton, whose hotels attract tourists throughout the year. One example is Gatwick Airport, which is served by frequent trains departing from Brighton Railway Station right up until 11PM on Fridays and midnight on Saturdays. Finally, snacks are available during At The Edge Of The Sea from the Barefoot Café which is over the road from Concorde 2. |
