Phoenix Lake Concert

If you're looking to check out some melodic hard rock this spring, the Nottingham-based band Phoenix Lake is heading our way. They are known for blending heavy, driving riffs with strong melodic vocals, a style that has led to comparisons with groups like Paramore, Parkway Drive, and Evanescence. The band’s current lineup features vocalist Lana Phillis, alongside guitarists Ash Wilson and Zak Smith. They originally formed in 2018, restructuring that year from their initial iteration as 'Descending Angels' to become the group we know now, focusing on a sound described as melodic hard rock and metalcore.

Their Brighton show is scheduled for Friday, April 3, 2026. The venue for the night is DUST, located centrally at 77 East Street. If you plan on heading down, the doors are set to open at 7:00 PM. Tickets for the event are priced at £12.47, and it’s worth noting that this is strictly an 18+ event, so plan accordingly.

Since their formation, Phoenix Lake has released their debut EP, Beyond The Flames, and are currently focused on developing a full conceptual album. This suggests they are bringing a lot of new energy and material to their current tour schedule. For context, they also have a date lined up in Manchester at The Deaf Institute the week before. This Brighton date offers a solid opportunity to see a band actively working to establish itself within the UK's metal and hard rock landscape, right here in the city.
