THE BRIGHTON MOON-HOP

If you're looking for a reliable spot to catch some classic sounds, THE BRIGHTON MOON-HOP is Komedia's established monthly Reggae Dance Party. It takes place in The Studio, offering a standing club night format dedicated entirely to the heavier side of bass and rhythm. This isn't just a single genre night; they cover a wide spectrum, spinning everything from deep Roots and classic Ska to Rocksteady and the smoother sounds of Lovers Rock. It’s a consistent fixture in the local scene, running monthly throughout the first half of 2026, with dates scheduled from January right through to June, making it a dependable choice for fans of Jamaican music.

The atmosphere is set by the local reggae vocal duo, The Tribulizations, who present and host the night, ensuring the focus remains squarely on the music and the dance floor. While the event is a regular fixture, the door times sometimes shift depending on the month, so it’s worth checking ahead if you plan on making it a regular stop. For instance, the February date started earlier in the evening at 9:00 pm, but most of the spring dates are late-night affairs. If you are planning for the upcoming event on Saturday, May 30, 2026, doors are set to open at 11:00 pm (23:00h). This late start is consistent with the other weekend dates in March, April, and June.

As for logistics, the event is strictly for Mayores de 18 años (Ages 18+), so make sure everyone in your group has ID ready. You’ll find The Studio at Komedia Brighton, located centrally at 44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN. Entry is reasonably priced, with a standard guide price of £6.00, and tickets are available through the venue’s site. If you miss the May date, the series continues into June, with the final scheduled date for the season currently set for Saturday, June 27th, also starting at 11:00 pm. It’s a solid, no-fuss night if you’re looking for a dedicated space to hear classic sounds from the Reggae, Ska, and Rocksteady eras.
