Glyders

On 27 April 2026, the Chicago-based band Glyders will perform at The Hope & Ruin on Queens Road in Brighton. The group, consisting of Josh Condon, Eliza Weber, and drummer Joe Seger, has been touring in support of their second album, Forever, which was released on 21 November 2025 through Drag City. This performance is part of their wider European tour schedule for the spring of 2026, bringing their specific sound to the local music scene.

The band’s musical style is frequently categorised as "maximal minimal rock & roll," a sound that incorporates elements of nocturnal mystery. Acid Box is the promoter behind this event, coordinating the logistics to bring the band to the local stage. The Hope & Ruin, located at 11-12 Queens Road, serves as the venue for the evening. Given the nature of the venue and the band's approach to their live sets, the show is restricted to those aged 18 and over. It is worth noting that the venue has its own specific requirements for entry, so having identification ready is standard practice for this type of event.

For those interested in attending, tickets are available at a price of £13.47. The event is scheduled to run from 19:30, with the evening concluding between 23:00 and 23:30. The programme includes support acts, which will precede the main set by Glyders. It is a straightforward setup for a Sunday night in the city, offering a chance to see the band perform material from their latest record in an intimate setting. If you are familiar with the layout of The Hope & Ruin, you will know it provides a specific atmosphere that aligns with the band's aesthetic. The logistics are simple: arrive after 19:30, have your ID ready for the age check, and expect a full evening of music that spans until late in the night. The combination of the venue's history in Brighton and the band's current tour cycle makes for a clear, focused evening of live music without unnecessary distractions.
