Hayden Thorpe performs the Wild Beasts songbook solo, by voice and instrument, at Dust Brighton.
Hayden Thorpe is performing the songs of Wild Beasts at DUST on Sunday 14 February 2027. It's a solo show, with Thorpe handling the voice and the instruments himself, working through the Wild Beasts songbook rather than a single album. If you've followed the band, you'll know the material spans a fair few years and a few different sounds, so it's a broad stretch of ground to cover in one night.
Wild Beasts were always a band that sat somewhere between art-rock and something more visceral, and seeing that stripped back to a single performer changes the way those songs land. Without the full band around him, the focus shifts to the voice and the individual lines, and the songs get a different kind of space to breathe. It's a solo take on a catalogue that usually takes a whole band to hold up.

DUST is on East Street, just off the North Laine, so it's an easy spot to get to if you're already in town. The show starts at 7:00 PM on a Sunday, and since it's Valentine's Day, it's one of those dates that might be worth sorting out a bit in advance. Tickets are available through the usual channels, and the full details are at the venue.
