The Brighton Moon-Hop

If you’re looking for a reliable spot to catch some classic sounds in North Laine, there’s a new regular night popping up that seems worth checking out. It’s called The Brighton Moon-Hop, and it’s described as Brighton's new monthly Reggae Dance Party. It takes place at the Komedia Studio, which, as we know, is right in the heart of Gardner Street and is always a reliable spot for good music and club nights. Komedia is an independent venue known for hosting everything from comedy to music, and this event fits right into their late-night offering, specifically taking place in the Studio space.

If you’re wondering what kind of music to expect, the focus is squarely on the best of Reggae, Roots, Ska, Rocksteady, and Lovers Rock. It sounds like a solid mix for anyone looking for that classic sound system feel. The night is presented by the local vocal duo, The Tribulizations, who handle the hosting duties. The specific date coming up that we’ve been looking at is Saturday, March 28th, 2026. Since this is a standing club night, the timing is late; for the March 28th date, the doors open at 11:00 PM.

It’s important to note that this is strictly an 18+ event, so make sure you have ID ready. If you can't make the March date, The Brighton Moon-Hop runs monthly, usually opening around the same time, though the February date is an exception. Other confirmed dates for 2026 include Saturday, January 31st, Friday, February 27th (which starts earlier at 9:00 PM), Saturday, April 25th, Saturday, May 30th, and Saturday, June 27th. All these events are held at the Komedia Studio, located at 44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN.

Entry is pretty reasonable; the standard ticket price is listed as a guide at £6.00. You’ll need to book tickets in advance, which you can do through the Komedia website. It looks like a straightforward, reliable night out for anyone wanting to catch some quality Reggae in the city center without breaking the bank.
