Surge

If you are looking for a bit of live music to round out your June, there is a hard rock show coming up at The Pipeline on Friday, 26 June 2026. The Texas-based band Surge is scheduled to perform, bringing their specific brand of high-energy rock to Brighton. They describe their sound as a modern take on classic rock, with some comparisons floating around that link their style to the energy of AC/DC and Greta Van Fleet. It is a straightforward setup for anyone who enjoys that particular blend of guitar-driven music.

The evening is being put together by 'An Alternative Gathering' in partnership with 'Indigo Bravo' and features a full lineup of support acts. You will be able to catch Lamiia, who play occult doom metal, alongside Carva, an alt-rock group, and Dateless Wonder Club, who lean into a dark alt-rock sound. Having a mix of sub-genres like this usually makes for a varied night, especially in a venue like The Pipeline, which is located right at 6 Little East Street, BN1 1HT.

Regarding the logistics, the doors are expected to open between 19:30 and 19:45, depending on which source you check, so it is worth planning to arrive around that time. Tickets are available for purchase, with prices listed at £8.00, though some platforms show a price of £9.40 once booking fees are included. It is a standard local gig format, so if you are familiar with the venue, you know what to expect in terms of the atmosphere. It is a good opportunity to see a mix of local and touring acts in a central spot.
