999 Matinee in Brighton

Brighton’s reputation for hosting great alternative music continues, and we have details on a highly anticipated return engagement. Let’s mark a specific date on the calendar for those who appreciate the roots of punk: Sunday, October 18, 2026. That’s when the original punks, 999, are scheduled to make their return to Brighton for another one of their popular Sunday matinee shows. This isn't just another gig; for anyone who followed their last appearance here, the context is key—that previous show completely sold out, which certainly highlights the enduring local demand for the band. This upcoming event offers a great opportunity to catch 999 in a unique, relaxed afternoon setting, a welcome change from the usual late-night concert schedule.

The venue hosting this matinee is Daltons, a familiar spot situated right on Brighton Beach. For those planning their route, the specific location is Daltons Bastion, Madeira Drive, Lower Promenade, BN2 1TB. The entire event is being managed by 'An Alternative Gathering', and they have structured the day to make the most of the Sunday afternoon slot. The schedule is designed for an early start and an early finish. Doors are set to open at 1:30 pm (13:30), allowing time to settle in before the music officially kicks off at 2:00 pm (14:00).

One of the most practical aspects of this matinee format is the early wrap-up time. The show is scheduled to conclude around 5:30 pm (17:30), meaning you get a full afternoon of classic punk rock without having to commit your entire Sunday evening. While the main feature is, of course, 999, the supporting acts for the day are currently listed as TBA. It’s definitely worth checking for updates closer to the date to see who else will be joining the bill. This event is shaping up to be a straightforward and solid afternoon of music right by the sea, providing exactly the kind of experience fans of the band and the genre are looking for.
