The Itch: Live + Signing

If you have been keeping an eye on the local music scene, you might have noticed that the electropop duo The Itch is heading to Brighton this April. They are stopping by Resident Music on Sunday, April 12, 2026, for a live performance and an album signing session. It is a relatively intimate setup, taking place right in the shop at 28 Kensington Gardens, which gives it a different feel compared to a standard venue gig. The event runs from 18:00 to 20:30, so it is a fairly contained evening.

The occasion marks the release of their debut album, It's The Hope That Kills You, which officially drops physically on April 10. Since the event happens just two days after the release, it is essentially a launch celebration. The format is straightforward: they will be playing live, and there will be an opportunity to get copies of the new record signed. It is worth noting that the event is ticketed, with a price point of £15.72. The shop is prioritizing entry for those who purchase the album, though they do allow additional access if there is still space available within the 180-person capacity.

It is interesting to see this kind of event pop up, especially since The Itch is currently in the middle of a wider tour that includes dates in London, Bristol, and Luton, alongside festival appearances like Dot to Dot. For anyone interested in catching them in a smaller, more direct setting before they head off to larger stages, this seems to be the main opportunity in Brighton. It is a simple, direct way to hear the new material and pick up the album in person, rather than just ordering it online.
