Cabaret Voltaire

If you have been following the local music scene, you might have noticed a change regarding the upcoming Cabaret Voltaire concert. The band, known for their long-standing influence in electronic and industrial music, is celebrating their 50th anniversary with a tour that stops in Brighton. Originally, the show was scheduled to take place at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, but it has been relocated to Chalk in Brighton. The date remains set for October 21, 2026, with the doors opening at 19:00.

This tour is notable because it features the reunion of original members Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson. Seeing them perform together as part of this 50-year milestone is the core focus of these live dates. For those who had already purchased tickets for the original Bexhill venue, there is no need to worry; those tickets remain valid for the new location at Chalk. If you were planning to attend but hadn't secured your spot yet, new tickets are currently available for purchase.

As for the live performance, the tour includes Gazelle Twin, also known as Elizabeth Bernholz, who will be joining as the support act for the UK leg of the tour. It is a straightforward setup: the founders are back on stage, the venue has been confirmed as Chalk, and the schedule is locked in for late October. It is a chance to see a significant act in the electronic genre within a more intimate setting here in the city, provided you are interested in their specific sound and history.
