On the day of Fatboy Slim's Big Beach Boutique 4 gig, the local paper - The Argus - ran with the headline: "Fears thousands of gatecrashers will target Fatboy gig." But all such fears were unfounded. It's true that many more thousands were there than the 22,000 ticket holders, milling all around Madeira Drive and Marine Parade, and the beaches next to Brighton Pier that survived being closed off. The gig was a curiosity for many onlookers. Not that they could get very close. There was even a flotilla of yachts, anchored off the beach. They were the lucky ones. Unlike any other event, staged in Madeira Drive, the view from Marine Parade above was completely screened off. There was little pavement room left for pedestrians to walk along.

The status of Madeira Drive as the city's major outdoor events arena continues to grow, especially this week when we learn that the White Air Extreme Sports Festival, which has just completed its twelfth year at the Isle of Wight, is to move to Madeira Drive next September (18 - 20th).

 

The Brighton Triathlon is a fairly new event to be staged along Madeira Drive. It is organised by Urbanrace, a multi-sport event management company. The three sports of the triathlon are running, cycling and sea swimming. There are three categories (novice, sprint and olympic) with olympic being the toughest. It's a fairly tight squeeze to fit all three events on the Drive, but you can get a good view of the cycling and running action from Madeira Terrace, while the swimming is best watched from the beach.
