The Macks with Special Guests

If you’re looking for something happening next week, mark your calendar for Wednesday, February 11, 2026, when The Macks with Special Guests take the stage at The Rossi Bar. This independent venue, located at 8 Queens Road, BN1 3WA, is a cornerstone of Brighton’s grassroots music scene, situated conveniently near the train station and the Clock Tower. The Rossi Bar prides itself on being a social hub that supports emerging artists and promoters, hosting a wide variety of events from Punk and Indie to Hip-Hop and experimental electronic music. The doors open at 19:30, and the event is scheduled to run until 23:00, making it a solid mid-week option for live music.

The main act, The Macks, have spent the last decade cultivating their sound and gathering a dedicated following. Their music is often described as a collection of “miscellaneous rock,” characterized by being “focused, scattered, electric, and tender” all at once. If you want a preview, they have an album called Bonanza. It’s worth noting that while their own description points toward rock, some event listings classify their genre as Hip-Hop/Rap, suggesting a potentially diverse or genre-blending performance. Tickets for the show are currently priced at £9.27, though it’s always wise to remember that prices can fluctuate daily.

When planning your visit, keep in mind the intimate nature of The Rossi Bar. The venue has a total capacity of 100 people, with the dedicated concert room in the basement holding about 60. This small capacity ensures a close-up experience with the performers. However, due to the layout, accessibility is a key consideration: while the ground floor bar area is accessible, the concert space is located in the basement and is reached via a spiral staircase. Therefore, the venue is unfortunately not accessible for users with mobility impairments. The Rossi Bar is committed to providing a platform for a wide range of artists and remains a vital part of Brighton’s cultural offering.
