Austi Gasten's Memorial Gig

If you have spent any time around the Brighton music scene, you have likely heard the name Austen. On April 25, 2026, The Prince Albert is hosting an all-day event dedicated to his memory, bringing together friends and musicians to mark his influence on the local community. It is set up as a full-day celebration, with the doors opening and the music starting at 15:30, turning the venue into a space for those who knew him or simply want to support the local scene he was a part of.

The lineup for the day is quite extensive, featuring a mix of bands that reflect the kind of music Austen was associated with. Peter & The Test Tube Babies are the main feature, but they are joined by a solid list of other acts including The Del Fish Experience, Thee Derelique, Family of Strangers, Gripper Lee, and Gulls. There are also a few more artists expected to be announced closer to the date, so the schedule will likely fill out a bit more as we get closer to the weekend.

For those planning to head down to 48 Trafalgar Street, the standard ticket price is currently set at £16.00. It is worth keeping in mind that this price is a guide and could be subject to change, so it is usually a good idea to check the latest details before you head out. The Prince Albert is a familiar spot for many of us, and given the nature of the lineup, it should be a busy day for anyone interested in the local punk and rock circuit. It is a straightforward way to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening, catching some live music while acknowledging a figure who was clearly a significant part of the Brighton music landscape.
