Suede is the marquee name confirmed today for October’s Rockaway Beach event.
Held at the Butlin’s Resort in Bognor Regis, the festival has also confirmed Saint Etienne, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Bill Ryder-Jones and Jah Wobble for its 2016 line-up, while Suede join having released the latest album of this decade’s reunion, ‘Night Thoughts‘, last month.
“We wanted to make the kind of album you’re not supposed to make in 2015,” frontman Brett Anderson has previously said of their latest record. “The kind you listen to in order and all the way to the end. ‘Night Thoughts’ is about those moments when you wake at 4am with the walls of your life caving in.”
“It’s an album about fear and love and loss. The film we have made mirrors those themes to create an interlocking suite of songs and images about the drama of the everyday.”
