Music Unites Us All! 🎵✊
Hidden Beach Festival 2025 stands proud with Love Music Hate Racism, turning up the volume against hate and discrimination. We’re not just another festival – we’re a movement that believes in the unstoppable power of music to break down barriers and build bridges between communities.
From pulsing reggae beats to soul-stirring jazz, our stages will showcase the incredible diversity that makes our music scene vibrant and powerful. We’re bringing together groundbreaking artists like Aba Shanti and Robert Mitchell’s True Thought, who prove that when different cultures and sounds come together, magic happens.
But This Is More Than Just Music…
Our festival is a celebration of unity where: • Every beat challenges prejudice • Every melody tells a story of resistance • Every dance move defies division • Every moment builds a stronger community
The Hidden Beach Experience: • Three days of revolutionary sounds across multiple venues • A Wellness Zone where peace and protest meet • Children’s activities teaching unity through creativity • Global food village celebrating diverse cuisines • Interactive workshops exploring music’s role in fighting racism
Join Our Movement: In these times when some try to divide us, Hidden Beach Festival stands as a beacon of unity. Here, we don’t just listen to music – we use it as a force for change. From the morning’s first drum beat to the evening’s final bass drop, we’re creating a space where everyone belongs, where diversity is celebrated, and where music proves that love is always louder than hate.
August 8-10, 2025 in Hastings Together we’ll show that when music plays, racism has nowhere to hide.
Your Festival, Your Voice, Our Future! ✊🎵

Music has an extraordinary ability to transcend barriers and connect people across cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. It speaks to the heart in a way that words often cannot, conveying emotions, stories, and ideas that unite us all. At Hidden Beach, we believe in the transformative power of music to heal, inspire, and create lasting bonds. Through its rhythms and melodies, music provides a platform for voices from all walks of life, celebrating cultural diversity and fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding.
The beauty of cultural diversity in music lies in its ability to introduce us to new perspectives, ideas, and traditions. Whether it’s the infectious energy of reggae, the soul-stirring rhythms of Afro-Brazilian drumming, or the smooth improvisations of jazz, each genre carries with it a unique history and cultural significance. When we embrace these diverse sounds, we not only enrich our own lives but also gain a deeper appreciation for the world around us.
At Hidden Beach, we are committed to showcasing this vast array of musical styles, providing a space where artists and festival-goers can come together in celebration of our shared humanity. We believe that through music, we can foster a more inclusive, compassionate, and connected world, where diversity is celebrated and racism has no place.
