Saturdays at Your Place + Carly Cosgrove

If you were hoping to catch the Saturdays at Your Place show with Carly Cosgrove this weekend, you likely already know the situation: the concert scheduled for Saturday, January 31st, 2026, at The Hope & Ruin is completely sold out. This event, promoted by Sugar-Free Records, quickly became a highly sought-after ticket for fans of the contemporary emo and indie rock scene. Saturdays at Your Place, a trio hailing from Kalamazoo, Michigan, have garnered attention for their sincere, heart-on-sleeve songwriting. Their music is characterized by 'twinkly guitars' and a distinct 'Midwestern ache,' deliberately rejecting irony in favour of genuine emotional honesty. Their second album, these things happen, explores the theme of 'growing up without growing cold,' offering a heartfelt and self-aware look at the transition into adulthood.

For those who managed to secure their entry, the doors are scheduled to open between 7:30 pm and 8:00 pm, with the night expected to wrap up around 11:00 pm. Given the venue’s setup, the event is strictly restricted to those aged 18 and over. Tickets were priced at £22.09 before they officially sold out. The Hope & Ruin, located at 11 Queens Road in Brighton, is an ideal setting for this kind of gig. It functions as a grassroots music venue and pub, known for supporting the independent music scene. Beyond the stage, the pub maintains late hours, staying open until 2 am on Saturdays, and offers plant-based food options from Beelzebab, making it a reliable spot for a full night out.

The band’s name, Saturdays at Your Place, is intended to evoke the comforting image of collapsing onto a friend's sofa at the end of a long week—a feeling that mirrors the earnestness of their music. The core lineup features Esden Stafne on vocals and bass, Gabe Wood on vocals and drums, and Mitch Gulish on guitar. This Brighton date is part of their wider European tour taking place this winter, bringing their specific brand of emotionally chaotic rock across the Atlantic. The addition of Carly Cosgrove as the supporting act rounded out the bill, confirming why this particular show was such a popular draw for the local scene.
