Along with the special musical guests, ticket holders will be treated to spoonfuls of free ice cream, courtesy of Ben & Jerry’s new sundae range. Festival goers will be able to enjoy such flavours as Cookie Vermont-ster, Hazel-nuttin’ but Chocolate, Oh My! Banoffee Pie! And Non-Dairy Berry Revolutionary. The event will also offer further fun activities and themed attractions such as a large Cookie Dough climbing wall and a Banoffee Pie ball pit. The summer day of fun will also include a beautiful fireworks display, various bars and multiple performers.

Ben & Jerry’s Resident office DJ Victoria Witter has given the following statement,  “If there is one thing better than a creamy tub of whipped Sundaes on a summer’s day, it’s rocking out to an entire Sundaes-inspired festival by the beach! Sundaes On The Pier takes Ben Jerry’s fun-filled festival experience to a whole new level, with amazing acts, better attractions and even more ice cream! As Ben Jerry’s resident office DJ, I’m super excited to hand over the playlist responsibilities to the professionals for one day only so I can kick back in the sun.”

Music fans can get their hands on a ticket by signing up via this link. The lucky winners will be chosen at random and will receive a notification and invitation on 10th June 2022. The confirmation will also include an offer for the winner to claim their pair of tickets.

All proceeds occured through the ticket sales will be donated to a local charity. The Refugee Buddy Project is a leading organisation which aims to supply support for refugees. A statement provides further information concerning the charity’s most successful programme, “This is where it all started. Buddying is at the heart of what we do, matching local families with newly arriving people seeking refuge. We started in Hastings in 2017, branching out in the Bexhill area in early 2019, and from May 2019 became active in Wealden as well.”

Both Kid Kapichi and Bob Vylan are rising stars in the industry at the moment. Kid Kapichi come from Hastings and consist of four members; vocalist/guitarists Jack Wilson and Ben Beetham, as well as Eddie Lewis on bass and George Macdonald on drums. Their debut album, This Time Next Year, was released last February and received strong reviews from NME and Gigwise. Later this year they plan to be embarking on their biggest headline show yet at London’s Electric Ballroom in May, as well as other dates throughout the year, such as at the Kendal Calling and 2000trees festivals.

Bob Vylan have been described by Kerrang as “the most exciting and important punk band in the UK“. They have a new album soon to be released as well, due out on April 22^nd. The 14-track release has a projected title of Bob Vylan Presents the Price of Life, and will follow last November’s single “GDP“, a song that was about “racism, class [and] social struggles“.

The duo also has some experience with live shows, having supported the likes of Biffy Clyro and The Offspring, which is useful considering they’ll be embarking on a 13-date UK headline tour next May-June. On this matter, the band said that “We’ve loved supporting various bands this year and we want to take this energy into 2022 with our own headline tour and continue connecting with people“.
