The Brighton Moon-Hop

Brighton's nightlife scene has just gained a new regular fixture for anyone who appreciates classic Jamaican rhythms. It’s called The Brighton Moon-Hop, and it’s setting up shop monthly in the Komedia Studio, right in the heart of North Laine (44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN). This isn't a seated gig; it’s specifically billed as a 'STANDING CLUB NIGHT,' which immediately sets the expectation for a high-energy dance floor. The event is designed to be Brighton's new regular Reggae Dance Party, giving us a reliable spot to catch those classic sounds.

The focus here is on delivering a comprehensive Reggae experience. They promise a mix of the best Reggae, Roots, Ska, Rocksteady, and Lovers Rock. It sounds like they are aiming to cover the full spectrum of the genre, moving beyond just modern sounds to celebrate the foundations of the music. Keeping the energy flowing and presenting the night are the local reggae vocal duo, The Tribulizations. Having local talent steering the ship usually means they know exactly what the Brighton crowd wants to hear.

If you’re looking to check out the next session, the date we have circled is Friday, February 27, 2026. For this specific Friday night, the doors open at 9:00 PM (21:00 h). A few practical details to keep in mind: the event is strictly 18+, so make sure you have your ID ready. Entry is reasonably priced, with the standard guide price sitting at £6.00, and tickets need to be booked in advance.

Since this is a monthly event, it’s worth noting that while the February date is a Friday, other scheduled dates later in the year—like March 28th or April 25th—fall on Saturdays, often with a slightly later door time of 11:00 PM. If you enjoy the February session, just remember to double-check the specific day and time for future months before you head down to Komedia.
