Friend of a Friend

If you have been keeping an eye on the local music scene, you might have noticed that Friend of a Friend is heading to Brighton for their first-ever live UK performance. They are playing at Alphabet, located at 11 Dyke Road, on Thursday, 7 May 2026. The doors open at 19:30, and it is a chance to see a project that has been active since the summer of 2020 finally take the stage in this country.

For those who follow indie rock, the band’s sound has been described by SPIN Magazine as a mix of Beach House’s melancholic undertones, the vocal style of PJ Harvey, and the experimental approach often associated with Radiohead. It is a specific blend of influences that should make for an interesting live set. They will not be alone on stage, as the evening includes support from Pet Twin and Grimrite, which rounds out the lineup for the night.

Tickets for the show are priced at £8.00. Given the venue size and the nature of the acts, it is the kind of gig where you can expect a fairly focused atmosphere. If you are interested in checking out their sound beforehand or want to see if their tour schedule aligns with your plans, it is worth looking into their official channels. It is a straightforward setup for a Thursday night in Brighton, offering a look at a band making their debut in the UK alongside a couple of supporting acts.
