Cheap Dirty Horse + support

If you are looking for plans for the end of April, there is a live music event coming up at Daltons that might be on your radar. On Friday, 24 April 2026, the venue—located at Under Brighton Zip on the Lower Promenade—is hosting a show featuring Cheap Dirty Horse. They are known within the folk punk scene, and this performance is being put together by Half Blind Promotions. It is the kind of show that leans into a specific, energetic sound, with the band themselves describing the night as a chance to make some chaotically wonderful noise.

It is not just a solo set, though. The lineup includes a few other acts joining the bill, specifically Mowfy, Ediths Aphids, and Greasy Rat Bis. It is a solid mix of local favourites and emerging bands, which usually makes for a decent variety if you are interested in seeing what is currently happening in the local scene. The doors are scheduled to open, and the music is set to start around 19:00 or 20:00, depending on which source you check, so it is worth keeping an eye on the timing as the date approaches.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are currently priced at £10.00. Since this is a ticketed event in a club setting, it is the sort of night that attracts people who are already familiar with the folk punk and queer scene in Brighton. It is worth noting that ticket prices can fluctuate, and sales are being handled through the Data Thistle platform. If you are planning to head down, it is probably best to secure your spot ahead of time rather than relying on door availability, given how these smaller venue shows tend to operate.
