Christmas Concert

We’ve got a confirmed date for the band Christmas hitting the Brighton scene early next year. If you’re looking to mark your calendars, the concert is scheduled for March 3, 2026. It’s worth noting this date specifically, as it appears in the local listings separate from other events happening later that month, confirming this is the night for their show.

For those unfamiliar with their sound, this is definitely not a seasonal gig. Christmas is known for pulling heavily from the punk spectrum. Their style is often described as citing influences from glam punk, specifically drawing comparisons to the sound of Trashcan Darlings, while also incorporating a raw street punk edge reminiscent of bands like Poison Idea. It’s a specific, high-energy niche, and it’s always interesting when Brighton manages to secure acts with such defined and gritty influences, adding another layer to the city’s diverse music offerings.

In terms of logistics, the concert is set to take place somewhere within the Brighton or Hove area. What’s curious is that while the listings confirm the date and the band, they don't yet specify a precise venue, unlike some of the other shows listed for that period which are already booked into places like Komedia or The Rose Hill. This lack of a specific address might suggest the gig is planned for a smaller, perhaps less conventional spot, or that the location is simply still being finalized. Given that this is a concert featuring an established punk band, it follows the standard local pattern of being a ticketed event, likely aimed at an adult or young adult audience, consistent with similar music events in the area.
