Brighton-based acts Mean Poppa Lean, Sweet Sweet Lies, Gloria Cycles and The Perils have been confirmed for event in a bid to support talent from the region.

Other bands confirmed include The Beautiful Word, Portslade, Ocean Reid, Chris Simmons, Seeker, Two Spot Gobi and reggae act Rebel Control.

Speaking today's announcement organiser Joe Pidgeon said: "Beachdown is all about creating a festival that is uniquely Brighton. As well as Beachdown’s international line-up of acts I think this is one of the main reasons for last year’s event being such a success."

The bands will join an already impressive line-up including The Blockheads, St Etienne, Grandmaster Flash and Norman Jay. Click HERE for the latest line-up.

Shoreditch venue Favela Chic will also bring their vibe to the bash with a four-day residency in a purpose-built arena at the festival. Described as a restaurant, menagerie, circus, bordello, concept, art space, club, sound, party and bar, the residency looks to be very interesting indeed.

Beachdown Festival 2009 takes place at Devil's Dyke, Sussex from 28-31 August.
