Stereo MCs

If you have spent any time in Brighton’s music scene, you likely know that the Concorde 2 has a way of hosting acts that feel right at home in such an intimate, seaside venue. This coming autumn, on Friday, 2 October 2026, the venue will host Stereo MCs. It is a return to the city for the group, who have been a fixture in the electronic and hip-hop landscape since they formed in the mid-80s. For those who grew up with their 1992 album Connected, or have followed their later work—including albums like Deep Down & Dirty and Emperor's Nightingale—this show offers a chance to see them perform live in a familiar setting.

The event is scheduled to start at 19:00. It is worth noting that the organisers, JOY, have set the age restriction for this show at 14+. If you are planning to attend with anyone under 16, they will need to be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. That adult will need to provide valid identification and contact details at the door, so it is best to have those ready to ensure a smooth entry. While the band is the main focus of the evening, the organisers have indicated that there will be support acts, though the specific names for this 2026 date have not been confirmed yet.

Tickets are currently available through platforms like AXS, Ticketmaster, and SeeTickets. Given that their previous appearances at the Concorde 2 have seen tickets move quite quickly, it is generally advisable to secure your spot sooner rather than later if you are planning to go. The venue itself, located right on Madeira Drive, remains one of the most accessible spots for live music in Brighton, and the setup for this show follows their standard concert format. Whether you are a long-time listener of their blend of hip-hop and electronic beats or simply looking for a live music event in the city, the logistics are straightforward enough to plan around.
