ORB + Support

If you are looking for something to do on the evening of Tuesday, 7th July 2026, the Australian power-trio ORB will be playing live at The Hope & Ruin in Brighton. The show is being put together by the local promoters Acid Box. For those who follow the band, this performance is part of their ongoing touring schedule, following the release of their 2024 album Tailem Bend and their 2025 single Mind Over Matter / End Times.

Musically, the band is known for a heavy-psych sound that leans into doom riffs, proto-metal, and a specific kind of groove that they have been developing over the last few years. The trio, consisting of Zak Olsen, Daff Gravolin, and John Zacharias, tends to focus on a dense, guitar-driven atmosphere. It is worth noting that this event is strictly for those aged 18 and over.

Regarding the logistics of the night, there is a bit of conflicting information circulating online. While platforms like DICE and Visit Brighton list the ticket price at £13.47, the Acid Box website currently suggests the event might be free. Given this discrepancy, it is probably a good idea to double-check the specific ticketing platform you intend to use before heading down to the venue. Regardless of the pricing confusion, the show is set to take place in the familiar setting of The Hope & Ruin, which remains a staple for this type of live music in the city.
