The Lemonheads Live at Chalk

If you have been following the local music scene for a while, you might have noticed that The Lemonheads are returning to Brighton. They are scheduled to play at Chalk on September 22, 2026. It is a date that has been added to their 2026 tour, marking a return to the stage for the band after Evan Dando took some time away to focus on his health and wellbeing.

For those who have followed the band since they formed in Boston back in 1986, this show offers a chance to see the group that evolved from their early punk and hardcore roots into the more melodic, power-pop sound they became known for in the 90s. With tracks like their version of 'Mrs Robinson' and the material from albums such as It’s A Shame About Ray, they established a distinct sound that still resonates with many listeners today. It is worth noting that this is a specific, standalone date for the 2026 tour, distinct from any of their previous appearances in the city.

The concert at Chalk is set to begin at 18:00, with doors opening at that same time. The event has an age restriction of 14+, making it accessible to a fairly broad range of fans. Tickets are priced at £38.50. Given the venue's layout and the nature of these types of shows, it is the kind of evening where you can expect the music to wrap up between 21:30 and 23:00, depending on the setlist and flow of the night. It is a straightforward opportunity to catch a band that has been a significant part of the alternative rock landscape for several decades, playing in a venue that is well-integrated into Brighton's live music circuit.
