The Noir Mates Matinee Concert

The Prince Albert on Trafalgar Street is hosting a matinee concert on Sunday, 31 May 2026, featuring The Noir Mates. The band is known for a sound described as urgently mesmeric and intense, often using reverb-laden soundscapes and a deep, constant, driving beat to create an avant-garde, jarring, and disruptive set. They are joined by two guest acts: Zombie Met Girl, who draw from 70s US garage punk influences such as The Cramps, The Stooges, and the Ramones, and Roadkill Drive-Thru, a group that presents a musical fusion inspired by a dystopian future. This event follows a previous performance by The Noir Mates at the same venue, as the band noted they enjoyed their time there last December and decided to return for another show.

The event is scheduled to begin at 14:00, with doors opening at 12:00. Tickets are priced at £8.00, and the venue maintains an 18 and over policy for this show. The Prince Albert, located at 48 Trafalgar Street, Brighton, BN1 4ED, has become a regular spot for The Noir Mates, who have performed there on several occasions, including dates in April 2026 and May 2024 alongside acts like WitchDoktors and Mad Daddy. The matinee format offers a different pace for those familiar with the venue’s usual evening schedule, providing an opportunity to see these three acts during the afternoon. Tickets are available through online platforms such as WeGotTickets and DataThistle for those planning to attend. The combination of these specific bands in a historic Brighton venue reflects the ongoing activity within the local music scene, where these artists continue to build their presence through repeated appearances and collaborative sets.
