Rapture: the Queer R&B Party

If you are looking for plans on June 20, 2026, there is a specific event happening at Alphabet that might be worth noting. Rapture: the Queer R&B Party is taking over the venue at 11 Dyke Road, Brighton, BN1 3FE. This event is a collaboration between Church of Italo and REFERENTIAL, focusing on a celebration of R&B music led by Black and queer artists. It is a straightforward setup for anyone interested in this particular sound and community space.

The evening kicks off at 22:30. The programming is split into two distinct sets, which gives you a clear idea of how the music will evolve throughout the night. From 22:30 until midnight, DJ Kronik Pleazja is scheduled to play a selection of mid-tempo, New Jack Swing, and grooves. If you are a fan of artists like Durand Bernar, Jazmine Sullivan, or En Vogue, this opening set is designed to cover that specific style. It is a solid way to start the night before the energy shifts.

Once the clock strikes midnight, DJ Nyasha takes over the decks until 02:00. The approach here moves toward harder rhythms, with a lineup that includes tracks from artists such as leikeli47, Doechii, and Janet Jackson. It is a shift in pace that defines the second half of the event. For those planning to attend, the standard entry price is £6.00. It is worth clarifying that this is a distinct event from the theatre production of the same name hosted by Bloom Theatre, so if you are searching for details online, make sure you are looking at the music event at Alphabet to avoid any confusion.
