Bloody Knees

Bloody Knees are heading to Brighton on Wednesday, 27 May 2026, for a show at The Hope & Ruin. Located at 11-12 Queens Road, the venue will host the quartet for an evening of music that draws from a mix of grunge, punk, and surf-pop. The band, originally formed between Cambridge and London, has built a catalogue that includes EPs such as Stitches and Maybe It’s Easy. Their live history includes touring alongside artists like Wolf Alice, and this upcoming performance is part of a broader UK tour scheduled throughout May.

While the event is presented by Outbreak Fest, it functions as a standalone date rather than part of the main festival, which takes place later in June in Manchester. This allows for a more intimate setting at The Hope & Ruin compared to the larger festival environment. The show is scheduled to run from 19:00 until 23:00. As this is an 18+ event, attendees will need to be prepared to show identification upon entry. The venue itself is a staple in the local scene, often hosting touring acts that fit within the alternative and indie circuits, making it a logical choice for a band with this particular sound profile.

For those planning to attend, tickets are currently being handled through the Fatsoma and DICE platforms. The venue’s location on Queens Road makes it accessible for those coming from the station or the city centre. It is a straightforward setup: a mid-week gig in a familiar local space, providing an opportunity to see the band in a setting that focuses on their specific sound. Whether you are familiar with their earlier work or are looking to catch a live set during their current tour, the logistics for the evening are set for a standard 19:00 start. It is worth checking the ticket platforms directly for the most current availability as the date approaches, as these smaller venue shows tend to have a fixed capacity.
