A NEW music festival replacing Shakedown will celebrate Brighton's musical heritage and be sympathetic to residents, organisers say.

Boundary Brighton is set to take place in Stanmer Park with a one day event in September instead of the controversial Shakedown festival.

The new festival will have four stages, three hosted by teams from Brighton club venues, and reflecting their musical bookings.

Organisers said they wanted to create “boutique and bespoke” feel for the festival grounded in the city's music scene with local artists and promoters.

Concorde 2 will host the biggest stage, Patterns will have a stage with an industrial warehouse feel, while The Arch will have a fiesta stage reminiscent of Ibiza.

There will also be a Victorian bandstand perched on the festival’s highest point hosting “eclectic, fun summer music”.

Paul Jack, director of Boundary Brighton, said: “I moved to Brighton two years ago and it has such a vibrant community feel and I like all the events venues.

“When the opportunity came to us we were interested in doing something at Stanmer Park which would have sympathy for the city and is wide and varied.”

He added: “When I was working out the idea we were looking around to see what was missing and Shakedown had very little connection with Brighton’s musical heritage.

“The obvious places are those key venues so I approached them and they were all intrigued and interested so came abroad.”

While the line-up is yet to be announced, Mr Jack said it was going to be “a mixture of house, techno, bass, reggae, electronic with a bit of jazz thrown in, it is fairly wide.”

He added their theme is “colourful and fun, we want people to explore the tents and stalls”.

There was controversy earlier this year after Shakedown was mooted for a return to Stanmer Park after two years at Waterhall playing fields.

Residents of the nearby village protested, with a petition signed by more than 150 people and The Open Spaces Society arguing the park should not be for “noisy commercial events”.

Mr Jack added: “I think there is confusion as to what we are offering, it is a very different style of show and the way we presenting it with an overall more creative feel.

“It is more sympathetic to residents and we are moving the site away from the village towards the main road so it effects residents less.”

Boundary Brighton will take place on Saturday, September 17, from midday to 10pm.
