Sunn O))) at Brighton Dome

On Monday, 29 June 2026, Sunn O))) will be performing at the Brighton Dome, specifically taking over the Corn Exchange. This appearance is part of their upcoming tour across the UK and Europe, which serves to introduce the material from their tenth studio album. That record was put together in 2025 and is expected to be released this April. Their work is often described through the lens of "minimal maximalism," a style that brings together metal, drone, and elements of contemporary jazz and minimalism. Rather than standard song structures, the performance focuses on the physical properties of sound, specifically volume, density, and weight.

The group is led by Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson, who are well-known for their specific approach to live shows. The stage setup typically involves heavy use of fog machines and the band members wearing robes, which helps set the tone for the low-frequency soundscapes they are famous for. It is a very atmospheric setup, designed to be an immersive experience through the use of extreme volume. The Corn Exchange has a capacity of roughly 1,100 to 1,200 people, which offers a specific kind of environment for this type of sound-heavy performance.

If you are looking at going, the doors are scheduled to open at 19:00, and the event is expected to come to a close around 22:00. Tickets are being sold across a few different platforms, so prices vary slightly; they start at £38.50 and reach about £45.35 when you factor in the various management fees. A standard price of £42.25 is what you will see most frequently. There is a limit of six tickets per person for the standing area, and the venue has specified that anyone under the age of 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult.
