Just Like Heaven: Alt 80’s Summer Terrace Party

If you are looking for a way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Brighton, there is a specific event coming up at Concorde 2 that might catch your attention. On July 26, 2026, the venue is hosting the Just Like Heaven: Alt 80’s Summer Terrace Party. It is essentially a themed afternoon dedicated to the alternative side of the 80s, focusing on genres like post-punk, new wave, and synth-pop. The organisers, Throwback Events, have curated a playlist that leans heavily into bands such as The Cure, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo & The Bunnymen, New Order, Depeche Mode, and The Smiths.

Regarding the logistics, there is a slight variation in the reported timings depending on where you look. Some sources list the event as running from 15:00 to 20:00, while others suggest 16:00 to 21:00, so it is worth keeping that window in mind. The event is strictly for those aged 18 and over, and you will need to bring your ID to get in. Tickets are priced at £14.30. It is worth noting that there are some specific concessions available for this event: if you work for the NHS or if you are celebrating a birthday between July 19 and August 2, 2026, you may be eligible for free entry. If that applies to you, you will need to arrange this in advance by contacting the organisers via email.

The venue, Concorde 2, is located on Madeira Drive, which makes for a decent setting for a terrace party during the summer months. It is a straightforward setup: a themed afternoon focused on music from that specific era, without the usual late-night club atmosphere. Whether you are a fan of the specific bands mentioned or just looking for a different way to spend a Sunday in the city, the event is structured to provide a consistent musical backdrop for the afternoon.
