THE SKATONICS

It looks like Brighton is getting ready for a serious dose of high-energy Ska next month. On Friday, February 6, 2026, the nine-piece band THE SKATONICS is heading to The Terrace at the Amex Stadium for a night dedicated to classic Ska and 2-Tone. If you’re into the genre, you might already know their reputation; they’ve been around since 2007 and are widely regarded as one of the top Ska tribute acts in the UK. Their setlist is built around a mix of classic Trojan Ska and a huge catalogue of 2-Tone/Ska covers, which is why they’re known for shows that aim to keep the crowd moving all night. They’ve certainly earned their stripes, having shared stages across the UK and Europe with some massive names in the scene, including Madness, The Beat, Bad Manners, and The Selecter, alongside other acts like Bruce Foxton's 'From the Jam' and Neville Staple (The Specials).

The event is taking place at The Terrace, a venue within the Amex Stadium complex that can host up to 1,000 people. It’s a ticketed event, with standard adult entry priced at £16.00 (VAT included). If you are attending with a carer, they can get free entry upon presenting the relevant documentation, provided the accompanying guest pays the full rate. This setup suggests a focus on providing a comfortable and accessible experience for everyone looking to enjoy the music.

Beyond the music, The Terrace is set up to handle the evening’s needs. They offer a solid selection of drinks, including popular choices like Heineken and Cruzcampo, alongside local options such as Harvey's beer. When it comes to food, they have four different street food concepts available. You can grab burgers and hotdogs from BITES by Steven Edwards, try Lost Boys Chicken, check out the rotating concept at Loaded (starting with flatbreads), or satisfy a sweet tooth at Melts with their selection of toasties, milkshakes, and donuts. It sounds like a good opportunity to catch a well-respected band in a venue that has all the amenities covered.
