August 7 – August 9
After the success of 2025, the Hidden Beach Festival returns to Hastings from 7–9 August 2026.
For three vibrant days, the town will hosts live music, DJs, workshops, fringe performances, film screenings, wellness sessions, great food, community markets and late-night afterparties.
Hidden Beach is a multi-genre festival that celebrates the creative spirit of Hastings and brings together music, arts and the community.
Across the weekend, The Oval will transform into a lively hub with live bands, DJs and pop-up performances.
The programme ranges from laid-back acoustic sets during the day to energetic late-night electronic sessions.
The festival champions emerging talent alongside established artists and creates a dynamic programme for a wide audience.
Fringe events and experimental performances will also take place around the site, adding moments of discovery as festivalgoers explore the stages and tents.
Don’t miss this celebration of unity, creativity and culture at Hidden Beach Festival this August.
