The Beat ft Ranking Jr

If you are looking for live music in Brighton this June, there is a show coming up at Chalk that might be on your radar. On June 13, 2026, the venue at 13 Pool Valley will host The Beat ft Ranking Jr. It is a chance to hear the ska-pop catalogue of The Beat performed live, with Ranking Jnr taking the lead. For those familiar with the band's history, Ranking Jnr is the son of the late Ranking Roger, and he continues to perform the songs that defined that era of the genre.

The setlist typically includes tracks like "Mirror in The Bathroom," "Too Nice to Talk To," and "Hands Off... She's Mine," which are staples of their sound. The event is scheduled to run from 18:30 until 22:30, giving plenty of time for the performance. If you are planning to head down, tickets are currently priced at approximately £26.22. It is a straightforward setup: a live concert focused on the music, suitable for anyone interested in the ska-pop scene or the legacy of The Beat.

It is worth noting that while there are other dates for this tour happening later in the year, such as the show in Worthing this October, this specific evening at Chalk is the one set for Brighton. Whether you are a long-time listener of the band or just curious about the live performance, the logistics are fairly simple. The venue is right in the centre of town, making it an accessible spot for a mid-June evening out.
