My Chemical Rivalry

On Saturday, 11 April 2026, the Komedia Basement in Brighton will host a club night titled My Chemical Rivalry. This event is structured as an appreciation night for the television series Heated Rivalry, combined with a playlist of emo anthems and popular tracks from the 2000s and 2010s. The organisers, Taking Back Saturday and Superficial, have clarified that they are not affiliated with the production of the series, but rather are hosting this as a themed dancefloor experience for fans of both the music and the show.

The atmosphere of the night will be supported by specific visual elements, including Emo x Pop Heated Rivalry projections. Throughout the evening, there will be themed drinks available at the bar, along with various giveaways for attendees, such as Hollanov masks and cardboard cutouts. Given the nature of the visuals and the club setting, the organisers have provided a notice that the event will include moving and flashing lights, and that some of the projected content may contain nudity or explicit material. This is something to keep in mind if you are sensitive to these types of visual effects or content.

The event is scheduled to begin at 23:00. If you are planning to attend, the venue is located at 44-47 Gardner Street, Brighton and Hove, BN1 1UN. Tickets are priced at £8.00, and the event is strictly for those aged 18 and over, so you should expect to present valid identification at the door. As this is a standing club night, the space is set up for dancing rather than seated viewing. It is a straightforward setup for anyone interested in the specific combination of the show’s theme and the emo music selection. The venue is well-known in the city, and the basement space is typically used for these types of late-night events, providing a contained environment for the music and visuals planned for the night.
