1986 - IASOM Tour

The Manchester-based band 1986 has confirmed a Brighton date as part of their IASOM Tour, which is an acronym for "In A State Of Mania." This series of performances is specifically organised to celebrate the release of their debut album, Carniveil. The concert is set for Monday, 27 April 2026, at Daltons Showrooms And Bar. You’ll find the venue on Madeira Drive, located directly opposite Concorde 2 at the postcode BN2 1EN. It’s a well-known spot on the lower promenade, and this Brighton show is part of a wider UK tour that includes stops in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The schedule for the evening is quite specific, with doors opening at 18:00 and the music starting at 19:00. The event is expected to conclude by 22:00, which makes it a manageable night out for a Monday. While 1986 is the main focus of the tour, there will be support acts joining them on stage, although the names of these performers are currently pending announcement. For those looking to go, it is worth noting that the venue has an age restriction of 16 and over. Tickets are being sold through platforms like Skiddle and Data Thistle, and while the price is currently listed as "TBC," these sites will have the updated costs as they are confirmed.

The music itself leans into Metal and Hardcore Punk, which is the core sound of the Carniveil record. Hosting the event at Daltons Showrooms And Bar places the gig right on the seafront, providing a distinct setting for the Manchester band's debut album tour. It’s a straightforward setup for anyone interested in the genre: a four-hour window of live music with a clear start and end time. Since the tour is hitting several major cities, this date is the primary chance to see the new material performed in Brighton. The focus remains on the live presentation of the new album, and the venue's location makes it easily accessible for those familiar with the Brighton seafront area.
