Smoove & Turrell Brighton Fringe

As the Brighton Fringe gets into full swing this spring, Smoove & Turrell are scheduled to perform on Friday, 22nd May 2026. The venue for this one is Caravanserai, situated in its usual spot north of St Peter’s Church at York Place. This show is being put together by Jalapeno Bop and fits into the festival’s broader schedule of live music. For those familiar with the group, the night will centre on their signature blend of soul, funk, and electronic sounds. It’s a fairly central location, so it’s easy enough to get to if you’re already spending time around the North Laine or the Level, and the setup at Caravanserai usually adds a bit of that specific festival character to the performance.

The evening’s programme is quite full, featuring more than just the main act. Two Pounds Down will be providing live support, and the Jalapeno Soundsystem DJs are also on the bill to keep the music going throughout the night. This combination of live bands and DJ sets usually means the energy stays consistent from the time doors open at 19:30 until the finish at 23:00. It’s a four-hour window of music that covers a few different angles of the funk and soul genres, which is a common theme for events hosted by the Jalapeno label. Having multiple acts involved gives the event more of a showcase feel rather than just a standard gig, allowing for a broader look at the label's sound.

If you are planning to head down, there are a few practical bits to keep in mind. The event is strictly for those aged 18 and over, which is worth noting before looking into tickets. Speaking of tickets, they are being sold online through platforms like Skiddle, but the specific price hasn't been finalised yet and is currently listed as TBC. The venue’s postcode is BN1 4GU, right in that busy stretch of York Place. It’s a straightforward Friday night option for anyone who prefers a soul-heavy soundtrack to their Fringe experience without the need for a late-night finish, as everything wraps up by 23:00.
