Friday 17th July – A Night of Iconic Bands and Iconic Hits

Taking place at the Arundel Football Club on Friday 17th July 2026, this live music celebration you can expect festival energy, big performances, and a fantastic community atmosphere together under the summer sky.

Friday night is set to be a huge one, get ready to dance and sing along as Arundel’s favourite tribute sensation, ABBAMAGIC takes centre stage. A huge crowd-pleaser year after year and known for drawing big crowds and getting everyone dancing, they’re making a special Music Festival appearance this year, so expect a packed pitch and wall-to-wall hits.

Kicking off the night, local favourite DJ Eddie J will get the party started with a high-energy set to warm up the crowd.

Supporting the night is the incredibly talented Aaron Kavanagh, performing timeless Elton John hits with stunning vocals and piano mastery.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, Aaron Kavanagh is unfortunately no longer able to perform at Party on the Pitch. We are excited to announce that fantastic local band Electric Feel will be joining the lineup!

Friday night shines a spotlight on Hattie Chandler and her band, delivering a special Fleetwood Mac tribute set. Expect rich harmonies, iconic songs, and a captivating performance from one of Arundel’s most exciting local artists.
