Bears in Trees: TOUR IS UNLIKELY 2026

Brighton is set to host the English indie rock band Bears in Trees, hailing from Croydon, South London, as they bring their unique sound to the city. The concert is officially part of their "TOUR IS UNLIKELY 2026," a title that certainly captures attention. The band has cultivated a reputation for being a 'dirtbag boyband,' delivering rock music infused with pop sensibilities. Their style is characterized by combining genuinely upbeat, catchy melodies with lyrics that often delve into more introspective themes. The lineup features Iain Gillespie on vocals and bass, Nicholas Peters on guitar, George Berry on drums, and Callum Litchfield, who handles vocals, ukelele, and keyboards. This tour supports their recent work, including the 2024 album, 'HOW TO BUILD AN OCEAN: INSTRUCTIONS'.

If you’re planning to attend, mark your calendar for Saturday, February 21, 2026. The venue for the evening is the beloved The Hope & Ruin, located at 11-12 Queens Rd. This is going to be a particularly intimate show, given the venue’s capacity is around 150 people, making it a great setting to experience the band’s energy up close. The event, presented by Joy Concerts, is scheduled to run from 8:00 PM until 11:00 PM. While some sources mentioned earlier session times, the main performance is focused on this evening slot.

However, a quick heads-up on tickets: the show is currently Sold Out. For those who managed to secure their entry, tickets were originally priced around £18.50 plus fees, though some later sales were listed closer to £22.35. One crucial detail for anyone attending or hoping to find a resale ticket is the age restriction. This event is strictly for those 18 years and older. While there has been discussion about potentially adjusting this restriction, the current rule remains firm. So, if you are an adult or young adult looking for a night of indie rock in a small, packed venue, and you already have your ticket, The Hope & Ruin is the place to be on the 21st.
