Antarctic Monkeys

If you’re looking for a bit of indie nostalgia this autumn, the Antarctic Monkeys are playing in Brighton on Saturday, 19 September 2026. They’re heading to Quarters for a night dedicated to Brit pop and indie music. It’s a chance to hear the tracks that defined a specific era of the UK music scene in a smaller, more intimate setting than the usual arena shows. The evening is structured as a live tribute performance, bringing the energy of the original Arctic Monkeys' catalogue to the local stage.

The band has been performing since 2006 and is recognised as an official tribute act to the Arctic Monkeys. Over the years, they have developed their set to include a wide range of material, from early classics like 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' and 'Fluorescent Adolescent' to later, more atmospheric tracks such as 'Do I Wanna Know?' and '505'. They are known for their attention to detail, with a lead singer who focuses on replicating the vocal style and stage movements of Alex Turner. They often share the stage with support acts like Little Juke, and their setlist is designed to cover the breadth of the Arctic Monkeys' discography. It’s a straightforward approach to live music, focusing on the songs that fans of the genre will recognise immediately.

The show takes place at Quarters, located at 187-193 Kings Road, Brighton, BN1 1NB. Doors open at 18:30 and the event wraps up by 22:00. Regarding the cost, while some sources list the price as to be confirmed, there are tickets available starting from £1, including booking fees. It’s a fairly accessible way to spend a Saturday evening if you’re already in the area and interested in hearing these songs played live. Given the venue’s size, it’s a different experience compared to the larger festivals or O2 Academy shows where this tribute act has performed in the past. It’s a practical option for anyone who enjoys live music in a club environment without the scale of a stadium tour.
