The Puppini Sisters - The Birthday Tour

If you have been following the local music scene for a while, you might have noticed that The Puppini Sisters are returning to Brighton this spring. They are scheduled to perform at the Komedia on Wednesday, 20 May 2026, as part of their 'The Birthday Tour'. This specific run of shows marks the 20th anniversary of their debut album, offering a chance to see the current lineup of Marcella Puppini, Kate Mullins, and Rosanna Schura live on stage.

For this performance, the trio will be joined by their backing band, featuring Martin Kolarides on guitar, Henrik Jensen on double bass, and Peter Ibbetson on drums. The setlist is built around their new album, The Birthday Party, which was released in March 2026. You can expect a mix of original tracks like 'Hey Sister' and 'Postcards From The Road', alongside their signature swing-style arrangements of jazz standards such as 'Take the A Train', 'Honeysuckle Rose', and 'Take Five'. They have also included a cover of Bonnie Tyler’s 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' in the repertoire, maintaining the vocal harmony and retro aesthetic that has defined their work over the last two decades.

The concert takes place in the Komedia Basement, located at 44-47 Gardner Street. Doors are set to open at 19:30. The venue is operating with a cabaret-style seating arrangement, which is unreserved, so it is worth keeping that in mind when planning your arrival. Tickets are currently priced at 36.00 pounds and are available for purchase online. Regarding the age policy, the event is open to anyone aged 14 and over, though please note that those under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult.
