Spikemyheart

If you have been keeping an eye on the local music calendar, you might have noticed that Spikemyheart is scheduled for Friday, 26 June 2026. The event is taking place at Waterbear, located at The Kings Road Arches, 169-170, Brighton, BN1 1NB. The primary focus of the evening is the album release party for spikemyband. It is worth clarifying that this is a distinct event from the performance the band gave in mid-May during The Great Escape festival, so if you happened to catch them then, this is a separate occasion.

The doors are set to open for a four-hour window, running from 19:00 until 23:00. The lineup includes support from Gold & Green and Girl Apocrypha, with Gnarly Marmalade overseeing the presentation. Beyond the music, the organisers have confirmed that all proceeds from the event will be donated to the charity Bipolar UK. It is a straightforward setup for those interested in the local emo scene or simply looking to support the bands involved in this release. Waterbear has become a regular spot for these kinds of shows, and the layout works well for a release party of this size, keeping things intimate and focused on the performances.

Regarding the logistics, this is an 18+ event, so you will need to bring identification with you to the venue. Tickets are priced at approximately £6.00. Given the venue’s location along the Arches, it is a fairly accessible spot for a Friday night out. It seems like a focused evening of live music, and if you are already planning to be in the area, it is a clear-cut option for your Friday schedule.
