Iconic UK music festival is making a comeback 14 YEARS after being axed & will be the ‘biggest beach party' ever

MIC DROP The festival has hosted the likes of Calvin Harris and Jason Derulo AN ICONIC British music festival is making a return, 14 years after it was scrapped. T4 on the Beach, which was axed back in 2012, is getting revamped as Summer Fest on the Beach for 2026. 3 3 3 The hotly anticipated new festival will hit the shores of Weston-super-Mare next summer with huge international names set to perform. 'This is more than just a festival—it's a full-blown celebration of music, nostalgia, and British summer magic", festival founder Ian Rogers said. "The response so far has been incredible, and we're pulling out all the stops to make this the biggest beach party the UK has seen in years. "Whether you grew up with T4 on the Beach or just love unforgettable live music, this is your chance to be part of something special.' In T4 on the beach's heyday, it hosted the likes of Calvin Harris, Jason Derulo and Sophie Ellis Bextor. However, the festival was axed after Channel 4 dropped the T4 brand back in 2012. Festival lovers hoping to attend the rebranded festival next year can register their interest here. Registering will mean you are the first to hear about pre-sales and artist updates. T4 on the Beach was initially called Pop Beach and was held in Great Yarmouth from 2003 to 2005. In 2005, the one-day festival then moved to Weston-Super-Mare, which is where the new festival will be held. Here's how to do festival looks on a budget - and save the planet In anticipation of the event, Visit Weston posted: "You're going to absolutely LOVE THIS! "Summer Fest On The Beach is a brand new festival launching in 2026, right here on the beach in Weston-super-Mare! "The excitement around what this event could mean to our town is incredible. "Think sunshine, sand, wide smiles, massive artists, beach bars, street food, and unforgettable moments, with the backdrop of our beautiful sunsets." Social media users were quick to share their excitement for the event. One person said: "We remember T4!" Another person said: "Can't wait!" A third beamed: "I'm in." A fourth simply penned: "OMG!"
