Basht.

If you’re someone who likes to keep tabs on the newer indie rock scene, you might want to pay attention to Basht. They are an emerging band from Ireland who have been building serious momentum over the last couple of years. They’re heading to Brighton soon, playing at The Green Door Store on a Thursday night, and it looks like a great opportunity to see them up close. Their rise really kicked off in 2023 when they started supporting bigger acts. They toured with Wunderhorse across the UK and Ireland, and also shared stages with established names like Bdrmm and the Goo Goo Dolls. They’ve also been busy on the festival circuit, appearing at major events like Electric Picnic, All Together Now, and Mutations. This trajectory led them to sell out two headline shows in London for Communion Music, cementing their status as a band to watch. Hot Press even gave them a huge endorsement, calling them 'one of the most exciting young rock bands to emerge in Ireland in aeons.'

For those planning ahead, the gig is scheduled for Thursday, April 16, 2026. It’s happening at the usual spot, The Green Door Store, located on Trafalgar Street (BN1 4FQ). Doors are set to open at 7:00 pm (19:00). If you’re thinking of grabbing tickets, keep in mind that this is strictly an 18+ event. Regarding the cost, there seems to be a slight difference depending on where you look—some sources list the standard entry price around £15.20, while others mention £13.50. Since prices can sometimes fluctuate daily, it’s always best to check the booking site for the most current rate before committing. Right now, the support act is still listed as 'To Be Announced,' so we’ll have to wait and see who joins them on the bill. Given Basht.'s history of playing major festivals, catching them in a smaller venue like The Green Door Store offers a good chance to experience their live energy in a more intimate setting this spring.
