Everything you need to know...

Pop Beach will be held on Great Yarmouth beach near the pier on June 6th 2004. Check out the map for the exact location. You'll need a ticket to get into the fenced arena where the action takes place. If you have not got a ticket in advance you can buy them from the Box Office marked on the map.

We want everyone to have a good time at Pop Beach so if you're coming along, there are a few things you'll have to remember:
    Please don't bring glass bottles to the beach. We don't want to ruin the beach with broken glass!

    Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult

    No alcohol will be allowed at the Pop Beach event so please don't bring any as it will be confiscated

    Don't forget to bring sunscreen, the lobster is so not a good look

    If it's hot, make sure you drink plenty of water so you don't get dehydrated

    No professional camera equipment or recording equipment will be allowed, you can still take snaps with an ordinary camera though.

    Please don't litter the beach; bag and bin your rubbish so that the beach and the sea don't get polluted

    Everyone wants to have a great time so show some respect for other people in the crowd

    We reserve the right to search ticketholders at entry gates and confiscate restricted items.

    The concerts are open air. The stage is covered, so in the event of rain, the concert will still go ahead, so be prepared!
