Scare Taxi at Alive at the Barn

Scare Taxi play The Barn Theatre on Saturday 25 July, as part of the Alive at the Barn music festival. It's a Brighton date that falls on a Saturday, so you can take your time getting there and stay late without worrying about an early start the next morning.

Alive at the Barn returns for its fourth year as a grassroots music festival, and this edition brings together a line-up of legends, loud guitars and sharp words. The bill spans ska, punk and poetic chaos, with the organisers describing it as a place where the bands stay close and the crowd is family. Scare Taxi are the main feature for this date, so they'll be the ones taking centre stage.

If you're not familiar with the festival, it's a grassroots affair, which means it's run from the ground up rather than being a corporate production. The Barn Theatre is in Southwick, just a bit further west than the city centre, at 24 Southwick Street, BN42 4TE. It's a short trip from Brighton, so it's easy enough to get to and back in one evening.

Tickets are £22, and the music runs from 18:00 to 23:00, so it's a full evening rather than a quick set. With the festival running into its fourth year, it's become a bit of a fixture for the local scene, and this Saturday in July is when Scare Taxi take their turn.
