The House of Love

If you have been following the local music scene for a while, you might be interested to know that The House of Love is returning to Brighton. The band, which emerged from Camberwell in 1986 and became a notable name during the proto-Britpop era of the late 80s and early 90s, is scheduled to perform at Concorde 2 on Thursday, 3 December 2026. It has been four years since they last played this venue, making this a specific return for those who follow their touring schedule.

The current lineup for this tour features Guy Chadwick on vocals and guitar, Keith Osborne on lead guitar, Harry Osborne on bass, and Hugo Degenhardt on drums. For this particular date, the Miki Berenyi Trio will be joining them as special guests. The show is set to start at 19:30, and it is worth noting that this is a ticketed event, so planning ahead is necessary if you intend to go.

Regarding the logistics of the venue, Concorde 2 has specific policies in place for this show. It is an event for those aged 14 and over. If you are planning to attend with anyone under 16, they must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older. That accompanying adult will need to provide valid identification and their contact details at the door. Additionally, both the minor and the accompanying adult are required to wear an identification wristband throughout the duration of the event. It is a straightforward setup, but good to keep in mind if you are coordinating plans with friends or family.

For those interested in the band's history, they released their debut album in 1988 under Creation Records before moving to Fontana. After their initial dissolution in 1993, they reactivated in 2005 and have continued to perform since. This upcoming gig at Concorde 2 is part of their ongoing activity, offering a chance to see them live in the city this December.
