Newtown Neurotics with Attila the Stockbroker, Henry Normal & Janine Booth

If you're looking for something a bit different to do on Valentine's Day 2026, mark your calendar for the afternoon of Saturday, February 14th. The legendary punk outfit Newtown Neurotics are heading to Brighton for a gig at The Prince Albert on Trafalgar Street. This isn't just a standard evening show; the event is scheduled for 2:00 PM GMT, promising an afternoon focused on what has been described as "powerful poetry and passionate punk." The Neurotics are known for their specific brand of punk rock—a sound that is consistently described as "always uplifting, never downtrodden." This description sets the expectation for a show that is more about energy and message than typical aggressive punk.

The venue itself, located at 48 Trafalgar St, is known for hosting intimate gigs, and this one will certainly be close-quarters. The Prince Albert has a capacity of only 100 people, meaning the atmosphere for this performance will be tight and focused. This small setting is ideal for the kind of event planned, which features not only the band but also a strong lineup of spoken word artists.

The Neurotics will be joined by several notable figures, making this show a reunion of sorts. The bill includes Attila the Stockbroker, who was a touring partner with the band back in the 1980s. Also performing is Henry Normal, a well-known figure from Radio 4, and the poet Janine Booth. The confirmed participation of these artists confirms the event’s dual classification as both a 'Music' and 'Performance' event on the local calendar. This combination of established punk musicians and respected poets suggests a unique blend of performance styles.

For those interested in attending this afternoon show, tickets are currently available starting from £10.00. Given the small capacity and the specific nature of the lineup—combining the Neurotics' passionate punk with powerful poetry—it’s an interesting option for a Saturday afternoon in Brighton, especially if you appreciate seeing established acts in a highly intimate setting.
