Steve Knightley & The Winter Yards Band

If you are looking for plans this autumn, Steve Knightley is bringing his tour to Brighton on Wednesday, 11 November 2026. He will be performing at the Komedia Basement, accompanied by The Winter Yards Band. It is a show that focuses on his recent work, specifically tracks from the 'Winter Yards' album, alongside new material he has been writing while on the road. The sound is often described as 'folk noir', which leans into a more cinematic, acoustic style with a focus on storytelling and poetic songwriting.

For this performance, Knightley is joined by a solid trio of musicians: David Delarre on guitar, John Parker on double bass, and Evan Carson on percussion. The venue, Komedia, is located at 44-47 Gardner Street, right in the heart of the city. Doors are set to open at 19:30. It is worth noting that the seating for this show is unreserved, so if you have a preference for where you sit, it might be worth arriving when doors open. As an added detail for those heading down early, the venue is running a promotion where you can get 20% off drinks during the first hour after doors open, though this does exclude bottles of wine.

Tickets for the evening are priced at £30.80. Given the nature of the venue and the artist's background as a co-founder of Show of Hands, it is the kind of gig that tends to draw in people who appreciate roots music and acoustic performances. It is a straightforward setup for a mid-week evening in Brighton, offering a chance to see a well-established songwriter in an intimate setting without the usual fuss of larger concert halls.
