LITTLEHAMPTON will be rocking on Saturday, when around 2,000 people will make their way to the seafront for the town's very first music festival.
LA Pebbles on the Beach has been organised by local bands, and aims to showcase the best the Littlehampton music scene has to offer, when 15 bands take to two stages.
STB will headline the festival, entertaining the crowds with a variety of mad and comical rock covers, from Nirvana to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and the Littlehampton Community School Steel Band will be the first act on, at around 1.30pm, followed by Whiteroom, a tribute to Eric Clapton's The Cream.
Well-known folk artiste Mal Simms will also perform in the afternoon, as will classic rock band Nakedium. Atombuzz, winners of the LA Pebbles on the Beach Battle of the Bands competition, which ran earlier this year, will be on at 8pm, with their blend of hardcore punk and rock.
Other bands are The Vinyls, Michael Koumis, Phoenix, Pitt Sisters, Fat Chav, 28 Days L8R, The 85's and Banjaxed
Tickets have already been flying out of town centre shops and pubs, with more than £3,000 being raised for the festival's chosen charities, the RNLI, Serv, a network of volunteers which delivers blood to hospitals, and The Capstan Fund, established by Tyndall Jones, owner of David O Jones Sports, in Littlehampton's High Street, in memory of his godmother Frances Harrison, a tireless charity worker, who died in 1998.
There will also be food and a licensed bar on the site.
A limited number of free tickets will be available on the door, though donations to the chosen charities will be gratefully received.
