Girl Scout

The Swedish four-piece Girl Scout are making their way to Brighton this spring, bringing their debut album tour to Patterns on Saturday, 23 May 2026. The group, consisting of Emma, Viktor, Evelina, and Per, has been carving out a space for themselves with a sound that often draws comparisons to the likes of Wet Leg, Alvvays, and The Breeders. Although the members originally met while studying jazz, their music has evolved into something quite different, blending those technical foundations with a more raw, guitar-led indie rock style. It is a trajectory that has seen them move from their earlier roots into a sound that cites both The Beatles and Bruce Springsteen as influences, focusing on songwriting that spans several decades of rock history.

The main reason for this visit is the release of their first full-length record, titled brink. The album is described as a balance between "apocalyptic anxiety" and "wistful escapism," themes that reflect the band's perspective on their current experiences. Musically, they have been noted for moving between high-energy tracks and more reflective moments, similar to the approach taken by artists like Snail Mail. Since this is their debut album tour, the setlist is expected to be a comprehensive introduction to this new material, showing how they have transitioned from their previous EPs into a full-length project.

The show is taking place at Patterns, situated at 10 Marine Parade (BN2 1TL), which is a familiar spot for anyone who spends time around the Brighton seafront. Doors are scheduled for 19:00 on that Saturday evening. In terms of logistics, it is a paid event, and while you can already find links to check availability and book through sites like See Tickets or the band’s own website, the exact ticket price is currently listed as "TBC." It is a standard club show in a venue known for hosting emerging indie acts, providing a chance to see how the band’s sound translates to a live setting as they move through this stage of their career.
