Coach Party

Coach Party are making the trip over from the Isle of Wight to Brighton on Friday, 20th February. They are an indie-rock group whose members actually met while working in music venues and attending gigs in their hometown, which often translates into a very specific energy during their live performances. If you’ve been looking at the local calendar for that week, you’ll find them scheduled for a night at Concorde 2. This venue is quite a landmark on Madeira Drive, housed in a classic Victorian building with a 600-person capacity, which usually strikes a good balance between a big-room feel and an intimate gig.

There is one detail to be careful with, as there seems to be a bit of a conflict regarding the location. While the Brighton tourism board and the majority of gig listings place the event at Concorde 2, one ticketing source has them down for Patterns. It is likely that the seafront venue is the correct one, but it’s worth keeping an eye on your ticket confirmation just in case. Doors are set to open at 19:00, so there is plenty of time to get settled before the music starts. The band’s indie-rock style is well-suited to these types of rooms, and their history as music fans themselves tends to make their shows feel quite authentic.

When it comes to the practical side of things, tickets are being sold through sites like AXS and Data Thistle. At the moment, the exact price is listed as 'TBC', so you’ll need to check back for the final cost once it’s officially announced. Since it’s a Friday night show in a venue known for its history and architecture, it’s a straightforward option for anyone interested in the current indie scene. Whether they end up on the main stage at Concorde 2 or in the more compact space of Patterns, the focus remains on the band’s transition from venue staff to the ones actually on the stage.
