Skating Polly

If you are looking for plans in Brighton this autumn, Skating Polly is scheduled to perform at The Hope & Ruin on 6 October 2026. The band, originally from Oklahoma and consisting of sisters Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse alongside Kurtis Mayo, will be bringing their alternative rock sound to the venue as part of a show organised by Love Thy Neighbour. They are set to perform material from their double album, Chaos County Line, and will be joined on stage by the glam-punk band Lord Friday the 13th.

Regarding the logistics for the evening, there is some variation in the reported start times, with sources suggesting either a 19:00 start or a window between 20:00 and 23:00. Tickets are currently priced between £16.50 and £18.15. It is worth noting that the event has an 18+ age restriction, so you will need to bring ID if you plan on attending.

The Hope & Ruin, located at 9-12 Queens Road, has specific accessibility features that might be relevant depending on your needs. The venue includes two gender-neutral accessible toilets on the upper floor. While the main entrance requires using stairs, there is a rear entrance at street level that has three large steps; if you require this access, it is best to arrange assistance in advance. The venue can provide chairs if availability allows, though this may impact your view of the stage. Additionally, the event is open to assistance dogs, which is useful to know if that applies to your situation.
