Saint Etienne: The Final Tour

Saint Etienne, the band formed by Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs in Croydon back in 1990, is heading to Brighton as part of their final UK and Ireland tour. This run of shows is celebrating their 35 years together and coincides with the release of their final album, 'International,' which came out in September 2025. The show is set for Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Concert Hall in the Brighton Dome (17-19 Church St). Doors are scheduled to open at 19:15. This particular concert is being presented by Heavenly Recordings and Brighton Dome, and it’s interesting to note that, according to some reports, this will mark Saint Etienne's first time ever playing a show in Brighton.

If you're planning to go, the venue capacity is 1,860 people. General ticket sales started back on December 5, 2025. While some sources indicate the show is sold out, the initial prices ranged between £43 and £49, though some tickets were listed starting at £54.19. The evening won't just be Saint Etienne; they are bringing along support acts who are new signings to the Heavenly Recordings label. What makes the Brighton date stand out from the rest of the farewell tour is the unique After Party planned immediately following the concert, which is not included in other dates on the tour.

This separate event will take place in the Dome Studio Theatre, running from 22:30 until 02:00. The party will feature the band DJing—specifically mentioning Pete Wiggs—alongside Heavenly Jukebox and some special guests. If you want to stick around for the party, you need a separate ticket. These are priced at £19.50 if you already have a concert ticket, or £24.50 if you only plan on attending the late-night session without going to the main show.
