Beyond Boundaries 2026 …

Kick off Freshers the right way with Beyond Boundaries — landing on the last Saturday of your Freshers’ Week and bringing a huge open-air student party to Stanmer Park, right next to the University of Sussex campus.

With massive names, all-day music, and a proper festival atmosphere, this is set to be one of the biggest student events of the term and the perfect way to end Freshers Week. The headline acts feature artists like Hybrid Minds, JME, Max Dean, MK, and Wilkinson! 

Thanks to Sussex Students’ Union, students can grab an exclusive £5 discount on tickets — making it unreal value for money for a full day festival experience right on your doorstep. Expect big production, top-tier artists, and thousands of students all starting the year together.

For anyone who remembers the legendary Boundary Festival era in Brighton, Beyond Boundaries is stepping up as the next huge student friendly festival moment for the city. Bigger energy, huge production, stacked line-ups, and that same unbeatable festival atmosphere students have loved for years and years.
