Hidden Herds Present

Brighton’s music scene has a new addition with the upcoming Hidden Herds Present night. Organised by Hidden Herd, this event focuses on showcasing emerging artists and those currently gaining traction in the industry. It is scheduled for Wednesday, 25 March 2026, and will take place at The Hope & Ruin, located at 10-12 Queens Road. The venue is a familiar spot for live music in the city, and this event fits into the regular rotation of performances hosted there, providing a space for these bands to perform for a local audience.

The lineup for this edition features Whitelands, Helen Ganya, Swallowtail, and Dirtsharks. Doors open at 19:30, and the event is expected to run until 23:00. Entry is priced at £11.00, though it is worth noting that this is a guide price and can fluctuate on a daily basis. As this is an 18+ event, attendees will need to be prepared to show identification upon entry to the venue. For those interested in seeing these specific artists in a smaller, pub-based setting, the evening offers a straightforward way to catch four different acts in one session.

This event is part of the broader cultural offering in Brighton, specifically targeting those interested in live music discovery. By bringing together a variety of artists under one roof, the night functions as a platform for these musicians to reach listeners who follow the local indie and alternative circuits. The Hope & Ruin provides the backdrop for the evening, maintaining its role as a venue for live performances in the heart of the city. If you are looking to spend a Wednesday evening listening to a range of emerging talent, the schedule is set to cover the three-and-a-half-hour window from half-past seven until eleven o'clock. It is a standard live music format, allowing for a direct experience with the artists involved without additional programming or filler.
