Melt Your Brains B'day Bash With Carlton Melton and More!!

If you are looking for something a bit different to fill your Sunday, there is a music event happening on September 20, 2026, that focuses on the heavier side of the local scene. The Melt Your Brains B'day Bash is taking over Daltons Beach bar, right on the Lower Promenade in Brighton. It is a day-long event dedicated to Heavy Psych, Doom, and what is often called freak out rock, which should make for a fairly intense atmosphere given the location right by the sea.

The main draw for the day is Carlton Melton. They are a band out of Northern California known for their approach to psychedelic and wig-out rock, and they are headlining the bill. While they are the primary name attached to the event, the organisers have mentioned that there will be a variety of other acts performing throughout the day. It is worth noting that the doors open at 14:00, so it is set up to be a full afternoon and evening of music rather than a late-night gig.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are currently listed at around £27.00 for a standard entry. As with most events, it is worth keeping in mind that these prices can fluctuate, so checking the online booking platforms closer to the time is a good idea if you are planning to go. The venue, Daltons, is located at postcode BN2 1TB, which is easy enough to get to if you are already spending the day down by the beach. It seems like a straightforward setup for anyone interested in this specific corner of the rock genre, without the usual fuss of larger, more commercial festivals.
