Amplify November 2026

Amplify is Music on Sea’s contemporary music showcase, shining a spotlight on the amazing bands, vocalists and young performers shaping Southend’s modern rock and pop scene. Formerly known as Music on Sea Rock Fest, Amplify gives young musicians the chance to take to the stage, share their sound, and perform to a live audience in a supportive, professionally run environment.

Performers from Music on Sea Rock School, local schools and community organisations perform rock, pop, indie music. With a strong focus on creativity and original material, Amplify encourages young people to explore their musical voice, collaborate with others and build confidence as performers.
