The Cribs

The Jarman brothers are bringing The Cribs back to Brighton this spring, taking over Concorde 2 for two nights on Friday, 27 March and Saturday, 28 March 2026. Originally from Wakefield, the trio is known for a sound that sits somewhere between indie-rock, post-punk, and garage-rock. These shows are happening at a venue with a 600-person capacity, which offers a more contained environment compared to larger festival stages. For the Friday performance, doors are scheduled to open at 19:00, with the event expected to finish between 22:00 and 23:00 depending on the final set times. If you are planning for the Saturday show, doors open slightly later at 19:30.

The band Courting has been confirmed as the support act for both dates, adding another layer to the evening's programme. This event is being put on by the promoter JOY. and carries specific entry requirements: it is open to those aged 14 and over, but anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. It is worth noting that there are two distinct listings for these dates across various platforms, confirming the double-header at the seafront venue. This second date on the 28th was added alongside the original Friday booking, providing two opportunities to see the band in the same week.

When it comes to the practical side of things, tickets are currently priced between £30.00 plus fees and a final price of £34.00. They are available through several major outlets including DICE, AXS, See Tickets, and Eventim UK. Having the choice between a Friday and a Saturday night might make it easier to coordinate, especially since the venue's size means the crowd is usually quite dense. The location of Concorde 2 right on the Madeira Drive stretch means you'll be right by the water, which is a standard part of the gig-going experience in this part of town. The 22:00 or 23:00 finish on Friday is also useful to know if you are planning travel or a late dinner in the city afterwards.
