Fighting For Unity 9

If you are planning your calendar for the start of May, you might want to note that Fighting For Unity 9 is taking place on the 1st of May, 2026. It is one of those local music shows that brings together a few different groups—specifically, it is being presented by the team at Stray 4 Life zine, the venue Daltons, and Hellride Records. It is interesting to see these kinds of collaborations pop up, as they often bring a specific energy to the local scene.

The lineup for this edition features Maxwelltheband, Wears me out, Chasm, and Sarah tonin. It is a mix of acts, and because the event is open to all ages, it is accessible if you are looking to catch some live music without the usual restrictions. The show is scheduled to run from 18:00 until 22:00, which makes for a fairly contained evening if you have work or other plans the next day.

You will find the venue, Daltons, situated at the Under Brighton Zip on the Lower Promenade, Brighton, BN2 1TB. It is a spot that has become quite familiar to anyone who spends time around the seafront, and hosting a show here feels like a natural fit for this kind of event. One of the main points to note is that this is a free show. There is no ticket price involved, which is always helpful when you are trying to balance a busy social calendar with a budget.

It is worth keeping in mind that because this is a free, all-ages event, it tends to draw a varied crowd. If you are familiar with the work of Stray 4 Life zine or the output from Hellride Records, you will likely have a good idea of what to expect in terms of the atmosphere. It is a straightforward setup: a few bands, a central location on the seafront, and a clear timeframe. Whether you are a regular at these shows or just looking for something to do on a Friday evening in Brighton, it is a simple, accessible option for live music.
