ROX Returns to the Seafront!
After a gap of over 10 years, the iconic ROX Music & Arts brand is set to return to Bognor Regis seafront this September as part of the Southdowns Music Festival.
In close partnership with Bognorphenia, they will be hosting the Rising Stars stage which will be situated on the closed seafront outside The Promenade Bar and will run from 12 noon to 6pm on the 21st and 22nd of September. Chair of the Southdowns Music Festival, Roger Nash, said “It’s great to give the team from ROX the opportunity to get back to their roots after over 30 years championing young local artists and providing a professional platform for them to perform on. Bognorphenia have also been incredibly supportive of young artists in recent years through their dedicated community work so it’s exciting to bring them together to try and recreate some of the special atmosphere that they are both so well known for.”
ROX Co-Founder, Steve Goodheart, added “A number of issues stopped ROX from holding any events over the last few years, none less so than a global pandemic! I think everyone thought we’d disappeared; it hasn’t been easy but here we are – back on the seafront ready to do it all over again! We’re grateful to Roger and all the team at Bognorphenia for allowing us to dip our toes back in the water and we’re looking forward to working with all of the partners involved in this event.”
