T4 On
The Beach is a British one day music
event which is held on the beach at
Weston-super-Mare and televised for
Channel 4. The event began in 2003
as Pop Beach in Great Yarmouth,
changing to the current title and
venue in 2005. The day consists of a
number of major contemporary pop and
rock music acts from the UK and
overseas, performing short sets in
front of an audience of over 40,000.
In addition to the main stage a
smaller 4Music stage has provided a
platform for newer upcoming bands,
renamed in 2010 to the T4 Sessions
stage.
T4 on
the Beach was held on 10 July.

McFly, The Wanted, The View, The

JLS and Jessie J were scheduled to
appear but were unable to attend.
Jessie had to pull out due to
doctor's orders after breaking her
foot and JLS had to pull out after
technical problems which resulted in
them being unable to soundcheck
earlier on in the day. Hollyoaks
made an appearance for an episode,
Abi Phillips who plays Liberty
Savage is singing on stage while
Ethan Scott (Craig Vye) Liberty's
boyfriend and Theresa McQueen (Jorgie
Porter) Liberty's best friend are
kissing.
Channel 4 is a British
public-service state owned
television broadcaster which began
working on 2 November 1982. Although
largely commercially self-funded, it
is ultimately publicly owned;
originally a subsidiary of the
Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA),
the station is now owned and
operated by the Channel Four
Television Corporation, a public
body established in 1990, coming
into operation in 1993. With the
conversion of the Wenvoe transmitter
in Wales to digital on 31 March
2010, Channel 4 became a UK-wide TV
channel for the first time. The
channel was established to provide a
fourth television service to the
United Kingdom in addition to the
Television licence-funded BBC's two
services and the single commercial
broadcasting network, ITV.
T4 on
the Beach will be held on 1
July.
