TOGETHER THE PEOPLE // 3-4 SEP
Suede have now been confirmed to headline the Sunday night of festival,
Together The People, taking place on September 3rd and 4th at Preston
Park in Brighton! They join many other artists including Nathaniel Rateliff &
The Night Sweats, Peter Hook & The Light performing a Joy Division and
New Order greatest hits set, and M. Ward. A dedicated lineup for kids has
also been confirmed including headline acts and shows such as Aliens
Love Underpants Live and LazyTown Live.

Brighton festivals are teaming up for the first time and Photoworks will
also be running family-friendly photography workshops at the Photoworks
Photography Tent at Together The People.
Together The People is an independent, greenfield, non-camping,
music and arts festival. The primary focus is to celebrate music, food,
community, film and arts within the city of Brighton, by delivering a highquality, creative, family-friendly and socially aware event. In 2015, the
festival was powered by bio-diesel and solar technology; recycled over
5.3 tonnes of waste; and generated over £2,000 in public donations for
local homeless charity, the Brighton Housing Trust.

They all join the existing lineup, which includes Brian Wilson, with a UKfestival exclusive performance of Pet Sounds in its entirety for the record’s
50th anniversary. Also playing are The Horrors, Hiatus Kaiyote, Gaz
Coombes, Songhoy Blues and many more!

Day tickets are now available for both days and tickets can be purchased
via the following outlets:

Together The People is open to all ages and will host three music stages
and welcome back The Incredible Moving Picturehouse Cinema. 2016
will also see the return of the Soapbox stage, hosting a selection of talks,
debates, poetry, spoken word, photography exhibitions and acoustic
performances from local contributors and beyond.
