The 900 - Tony Hawks Pro Skater Cover Band

If you spent your youth trying to land a 900 in virtual reality, you might want to check out what’s coming to Brighton next month. The event is a gig by The 900 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Cover Band, who are known as the UK's first and only tribute dedicated entirely to the soundtracks of the legendary THPS video game series. This isn't just a standard cover band; they’ve actually received approval from Tony Hawk himself, as well as John Feldmann of Goldfinger, and have even shared the stage with Hawk during past performances in the UK.

The show promises a high-energy trip back to the skate park, covering hits from THPS1 right up to American Wasteland. Their setlist pulls from the iconic mix of punk and rock that defined the games, meaning you can expect to hear tracks originally performed by bands like Goldfinger, Rage Against The Machine, System of a Down, AFI, Bad Religion, CKY, and NOFX, among many others. They focus on delivering those essential skate culture anthems, including staples like 'Superman' and 'Guerrilla Radio', making it essentially a live greatest hits compilation for fans of the 90s and 2000s punk scene.

For those planning to go, the show is happening on Friday, February 20, 2026, at Chalk, located at 13 Pool Valley. The schedule runs from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Tickets are priced at £18.49 for a standard entry, though it’s worth noting that prices are always subject to daily changes. While the Brighton event hasn't specified age restrictions, previous gigs by The 900 have been open to ages 8 and up, with the condition that anyone under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Given the genre and the nostalgic theme, the audience is likely to be a mix of long-time punk fans and adults looking to relive their PlayStation days.
