Sssputnik Electronic - 40 Years Of Flaunt It

For those who follow the local music scene and appreciate a good throwback, there’s an interesting event coming up that focuses squarely on 80s electronic and new wave. It’s titled Sssputnik Electronic - 40 Years Of Flaunt It, marking the 40th anniversary of the groundbreaking 1986 album, Flaunt It. This isn't just a tribute night; the performance features Martin Degville, the original voice of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, ensuring the sound is authentic to the era. The initial summary describes the show as a high-velocity celebration of the album, which makes sense given the record’s reputation for blending punk attitude with electronic futurism and its overall impact on the sound of the mid-eighties.

If you’re planning ahead, the date to save is Saturday, June 20, 2026. The show is scheduled to kick off at 9:00 p.m. The location is one of Brighton’s reliable spots for live music, The Green Door Store, situated right by the station at Goods Yard. It’s a venue known for hosting niche and retrospective acts, making it a fitting spot for this kind of anniversary celebration. The focus of the evening is the music itself, specifically the complete performance of the Flaunt It album. For fans, this means hearing the record played in full, which is a significant draw for an anniversary show.

Beyond the full album run-through, the setlist is confirmed to include some of the band’s most recognizable tracks. We’re talking about major hits like 'Love Missile F1-11' and '21st Century Boy', rounding out the experience for anyone who followed the band’s career during that period. Given the specific focus on a 1986 album anniversary, this event is clearly aimed at adults and dedicated followers of Sigue Sigue Sputnik and the broader 80s new wave scene. It’s a chance to see the original vocalist perform the material live in a local setting. Access requires a ticket, which is priced at £17.00, including the booking fee. It’s a straightforward opportunity for fans in Brighton to revisit a specific moment in music history.
