Alborosie

If you are looking for plans as the year winds down, Alborosie is heading to Brighton this December. He is scheduled to perform live at Chalk on the 4th of December, 2026. It is a bit of a trek from the usual weekend routine, but for anyone who follows the reggae scene, it is worth noting that he will be bringing The Shengen Clan along for the show. The event is being put together by Citizen Live, and the doors are set to open for what looks like a solid evening of music, running from 18:30 until 22:00.

For those unfamiliar with his background, Alberto D’Ascola—known professionally as Alborosie—has been a fixture in the reggae world since 1993. Originally from Sicily and based in Jamaica for over two decades, his sound pulls from roots, dancehall, dub, and raggamuffin. He has a fairly extensive catalogue, including albums like 'Soul Pirate', which features tracks such as 'Kingston Town' and 'Herbalist', alongside more recent work like 'Destiny' from 2023 and 'Dub Pirate' from 2024. He has collaborated with names like Buju Banton and The Wailing Souls over the years, and he holds a MOBO award for Best Reggae Act.

Regarding the logistics, the venue is located at 13 Pool Valley, Brighton (BN1 1NJ). If you are planning to go, tickets are currently listed at a guide price of £34.97, though it is worth keeping in mind that these prices can fluctuate daily. The event is open to all ages, but there is a specific policy to be aware of: anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult over 18. It should be a straightforward night of live music, combining his newer material with the tracks that have defined his career so far.
