Arlo Parks: Album Launch Show

Arlo Parks is making a welcome return to Brighton this spring for a special, intimate show celebrating her new music. She’s launching her third studio album, Ambiguous Desire, which is set to drop on April 3rd, 2026. This new work is generating some buzz, described as being “more experimental, electronic and secure,” while still maintaining the poetic lyricism that defines her sound. If you’ve checked out the first single, ‘2SIDED’, you’ll already have a taste of the direction she’s exploring, moving into slightly different territory while keeping her signature style intact. This launch event is a chance to experience that new material live almost immediately after its release.

The show itself is scheduled for the following week, on Thursday, April 9th, 2026, starting at 7:00 PM. The venue for this gig is CHALK, located at 13 Pool Valley, Brighton BN1. These album launch shows are always a bit different from a standard tour stop; they offer a smaller, more local feel, and this one is specifically associated with Resident x CHALK, highlighting the connection to the local music scene. It’s a great opportunity to hear the new tracks in a focused setting, rather than a massive arena.

If you’re planning on securing a spot, tickets start from £19.08. It’s worth noting that for this series of intimate events, entry is typically tied to purchasing the album through the corresponding retailer, so make sure you check the bundle details when booking your place. Finally, if you’re thinking of bringing younger fans, the event has a 14+ age restriction, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. It promises to be a great night for anyone who follows contemporary indie/pop and R&B, offering a deep dive into Arlo Parks’ latest creative chapter.
