New Wave Breakers

If you are looking for live music in Brighton this spring, the New Wave Breakers are scheduled to perform at Ironworks Studios on Thursday, 9 April 2026. This local group focuses on the New Wave genre, specifically aiming to recreate the sound and atmosphere of the late 1970s and 1980s. Their setlist is not limited to the most recognisable hits; they also include what they describe as deeper cuts and lesser-known tracks from the period. You can expect to hear material from artists such as Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Joe Jackson, Squeeze, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears, Prefab Sprout, and Blondie.

The event is hosted at Ironworks Studios, situated at 30 Cheapside, Brighton, BN1 4GD. The evening is structured with doors opening at 19:00, and the performance itself runs from 20:00 until 22:00, with an interval included during the two-hour duration. The venue layout features a combination of general admission seating and tables for two or four people positioned in front of the stage. This setup is intended to accommodate different preferences for viewing the performance.

Tickets are available for £16 and can be purchased through online ticketing platforms. The event is open to attendees aged 14 and older, with the requirement that anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. For those who require specific accessibility arrangements, the venue provides facilities for wheelchair users. Additionally, they offer free tickets for personal assistants or carers, which can be requested by contacting the venue directly at info@ironworks-studios.co.uk. As a practical note, the organisers maintain a no-refund policy for ticket purchases, so it is advisable to confirm your availability before booking. This event provides an opportunity to hear a specific selection of New Wave music in a local setting, following the band's history of performing at various venues across Brighton.
