On The Beach 2026: Moby

The closing day of the On The Beach 2026 festival is shaping up to be a significant event for the city’s summer calendar. It’s all happening on Sunday, July 26, 2026, right on Brighton Beach, Madeira Drive. The big news is that electronic music icon Moby is headlining the final day. This isn't just a standard DJ set; he is scheduled to perform live with a full band, offering a unique spectacle right by the sea.

What makes this particularly noteworthy is the context: Moby’s appearance marks his return to Brighton after nearly 25 years, and sources indicate this is one of his only live shows globally in 2026. For those interested in the wider festival, the On The Beach lineup is already looking strong, with The Maccabees and Fatboy Slim also confirmed to play on other dates. Moby, described as one of the true architects of modern dance music, will be closing out the festival, bringing his decades of hits to the coast.

If you are planning on attending the Moby day, you need to know the specifics. The event runs from 14:00h (2 p.m.) until 22:30h. While doors open early, pay close attention to the last entry time, which is strictly 18:00h. Also, this is an 18+ event, so it’s strictly for adults. Regarding tickets, the event is ticketed, though the guide price is currently listed as TBC. The initial sales push saw the presale start on Tuesday, January 20, at 10 a.m. GMT, followed by the general sale on Wednesday, January 21, also at 10 a.m. GMT. If you missed those initial dates, you will need to check the usual ticket sites for current availability. Seeing Moby perform his classic tracks live with a full band, especially given how rare his appearances are, makes this closing day a major moment for the Brighton music scene this summer.
