Dexys

If you have been keeping an eye on the local music calendar, you might have noticed that Dexys—the band formerly known as Dexys Midnight Runners—are heading to the Brighton Dome later this year. They are scheduled to perform on Sunday, 1 November 2026, at 19:00 in the Concert Hall. It is a notable return for the group, as this tour marks the first time they have toured the country under the name 'Dexys Midnight Runners' since 2003.

Founded in Birmingham back in 1978, the band has a long history, and this show will feature their classic repertoire, including well-known tracks like 'Geno' from 1980 and 'Come on Eileen' from 1982. Kevin Rowland, who remains at the helm of the group, has kept the band active over the decades, with more recent releases like the 2012 album One Day I'm Going To Soar and their 2023 record, The Feminine Divine. Rowland also recently published his memoirs, titled Bless Me Father, which adds a bit of context to the band's current chapter.

Regarding the logistics for the evening, tickets are priced at £45, £50, £55, and £70. If you are booking online or over the phone, there is an additional charge of £3.50 per order, though this fee is waived for members of the Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival. It is worth noting that the venue has a specific policy regarding age: anyone under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult to gain entry. It is a straightforward setup for a Sunday evening show, and given the venue's size and the band's history, it should be a fairly standard concert experience for anyone interested in their catalogue.
