Over 30s Afternoon of Indie

It looks like we have a solid mid-week plan coming up for those of us who remember the 90s the first time around. On Wednesday, February 25, 2026, the Over 30s Afternoon of Indie is setting up shop at Dust Brighton. This event is pretty specific about its crowd, strictly catering to the over 30s, offering a chance to catch some classic tracks without the late-night commitment. The concept of an afternoon indie session is interesting, especially for a Wednesday. While the exact hours for this specific date are still pending confirmation, similar events in the series have typically run from 3 PM until 7 PM, suggesting a relaxed, early finish.

The focus here is squarely on Old School Indie, and the lineup of collaborators suggests they are serious about delivering a proper throwback atmosphere. This afternoon is a joint effort between Old School Indie, Feeling Gloomy, and Age Against The Machine. The DJs from Feeling Gloomy and Old School Indie are promising a wide mix spanning several decades, ensuring there’s something for everyone who grew up on guitar music. We’re talking about everything from 70s punk and 80s new wave right through to 90s Britpop and the defining indie sounds of the early 2000s. It sounds like a comprehensive trip through the genres that defined those years, curated specifically for an audience that appreciates the history of the sound.

For anyone planning to attend, the venue is Dust Brighton, located centrally at 77 East Street, BN1 1NF. Since this is a collaboration involving established names in the local scene, it’s worth noting that the event is ticketed. The guide prices for entry are currently listed as TBC, but the information confirms there will be an option for online booking. If you are looking for a mid-week, daytime opportunity to hear those classic indie tracks in a setting tailored for the over 30s crowd, this is definitely one to keep an eye on for updates regarding the final schedule and ticket release.
