Glorious Day takes over Hove Lawns on Saturday, 13 June 2026, running from 1 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. It's an 18+ event, so expect a grown-up crowd. The festival is boutique in scale, which means curated rather than chaotic—perfect for those who want music, entertainment and a bit of breathing room, all without losing the festival spirit.
The vibe
Picture yourself on the Sussex coast on a summer's afternoon, the sea air in your hair, good company nearby. Hove Lawns has that seaside-garden-party feel—manicured grass, open space, and enough room to actually move about. It's less about surviving the mosh pit and more about settling in for a proper day's entertainment. Expect a mix of punters who value quality and atmosphere over capacity.
Getting tickets
Glorious Day is an 18+ event, so bring ID. Specific pricing and ticket packages aren't listed yet, but keep an eye on the official festival channels as June approaches. Early-bird sales typically drop first, so register your interest sooner rather than later if you're keen.
