Let's Kill Disco: Decades of Pop!

This Saturday, 21st February, Chalk is hosting its weekly Let's Kill Disco: Decades of Pop! night. Located at 13 Pool Valley in Brighton, the venue opens its doors at 23:00 for a session that runs well into the early hours. The event is a staple for those who prefer a soundtrack of familiar pop hits, spanning from the 1980s right through to the current charts. It is a ticketed night, with bookings handled through platforms like Skiddle and Fixr, so having a ticket sorted beforehand is part of the usual routine for this spot.

The music selection is the main draw here, focusing on a "no filler" approach to the playlist. You can expect a mix that includes 80s staples such as Madonna, Whitney Houston, Prince, Queen, and Blondie, alongside disco-leaning tracks from CHIC and ABBA. As the night progresses, the setlist typically moves into 2000s territory, featuring icons like Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, as well as Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, and Mariah Carey. They also incorporate more recent chart-toppers from artists like Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan, covering the timeline from the 80s to current pop trends.

Because it takes place in a nightclub setting with a late start time, the environment is designed for an adult audience looking for a dance floor and collective sing-alongs. The layout at Chalk involves low lighting and a focus on the central floor area, which tends to fill up as the night goes on. While the specific ticket prices are often listed as to be confirmed or vary by release, the event is a recurring fixture on the Brighton nightlife calendar every Saturday. It offers a straightforward pop-focused alternative to the city's more niche club nights, sticking to well-known anthems across several generations.
