Announcing comedy, music and more coming soon to The White Rock.
This season, Hastings White Rock transforms into the biggest party in town – a festival of music, comedy, and unforgettable entertainment!
Our festival of music is bursting with headline acts. Sing along with the legendary Graham Nash, dance the night away at Jo Whiley’s 90s Anthems, and feel soul sounds with The Amy Winehouse Band. Relive rock history with John Illsley from Dire Straits, raise your voices for Dave Hill’s Slade, skank to the ska classics of Bad Manners, and enjoy a night of pure magic (and what I’m personally most excited for!) as Peter Andre performs the music of Frankie Valli.
The laughter never stops in our festival of comedy. Expect quick-wit and relatable gripes from Josh Widdicombe, down to earth gags from the naturally gifted Jason Manford, the brilliant observational humour of Strictly winner Chris McCausland, and fearless fun from Desiree Burch in Studio 27.
Our Studio 27 programme continues to shine, offering its own rich mix of plays, comedy, and music. Highlights include the return of our classical series with Music in the Round, and upcoming concert Death and the Maiden by Dudok Quartet. The Sounds St Leonards concert series brings two bands of understated brilliance – The Breath and FLOCK – to the autumn programme. For comedy we continue our partnership with Hastings Comedy Festival for our regular Comedy Nights, and welcome Cherry Liquor who performs as ten drag legends all in one night!
And still…the grand finale! Don’t miss this year’s spectacular pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, starring Richard Blackwood and Clair Norris. It will be a towering treat of music, mayhem, and festive fun for the whole family.
From legendary performers to fresh new voices, side-splitting comedy to magical family moments, join us for a season of celebration!
