So Heavenly @ Brighton Pride

Brighton Pride 2026 is approaching, and among the various events scheduled for the weekend, there is a dance event titled So Heavenly taking place on August 1st. It is hosted at The KoKo club, which is situated inside the Queens Hotel at 1 Kings Road. The venue itself has a bit of local history, as the Queens Hotel was home to the Curtain Club, a space that served the queer community in Brighton from the 1940s through to the 1980s.

The programme for the evening features Ian Levine and Colin Holsgrove. For those familiar with the history of London’s club scene, Ian Levine is known for his tenure at the superclub Heaven, where he was instrumental in shaping the dance music landscape and promoting the Hi-NRG genre for over a decade. Colin Holsgrove worked alongside him as his deputy during that period, and together they were central to establishing the club's cultural footprint. Their appearance at this event brings that specific musical lineage to the Brighton Pride programme.

Regarding the logistics, the event is scheduled to start at 19:30. As for the cost, the ticket price is currently listed as 'TBC' (to be confirmed). However, there is an option to book tickets online, and a waiting list is available for those interested in attending. Given the context of the event and its inclusion in the wider Pride schedule, it is structured as a ticketed experience. If you are planning your weekend, it is worth keeping an eye on the booking page for updates on the pricing as they become available.
