The Undertones 50th Anniversary Show

If you’re looking ahead to late 2026 for some classic punk and new wave energy, mark your calendar for the return of The Undertones to Brighton. The band, originally formed in Derry back in 1975, is celebrating a massive milestone: their 50th Anniversary. This special tour, dubbed the '50th Anniversary Show,' is set to land right here in the city, promising a night focused on their timeless catalogue, including the track they are perhaps most famous for, 'Teenage Kicks.' While the original run ended in the early 80s, the band reformed in 1999 and continues to tour, keeping those classic hits alive for new and long-time fans alike.

The concert is scheduled for Saturday, 21 November 2026, and the venue hosting the celebration is Chalk. For those planning their route, Chalk is located in the Pool Valley area, with addresses cited as both 13 Pool Valley and 10 Pool Valley, BN1 1NJ, depending on the source. Adding to the excitement, The Undertones won't be alone; they are bringing along special guests, the legendary Ruts DC, ensuring the evening is packed with influential punk and rock sounds. This combination of acts suggests a high-energy show that appeals directly to fans of the late 70s and early 80s UK music scene.

When it comes to planning your evening, the doors are scheduled to open relatively early, at 18:00 (6:00 PM). The actual start time for the performances is listed as 18:45 (6:45 PM). Regarding tickets, the event is ticketed, and the standard price seems to hover around £36.40, though some outlets list prices starting from £36.52, or within a broader range of £32.50 to £40.64. It’s worth noting that this show has an age restriction: it is strictly for those aged 14 years and over. If you’re keen on catching one of the most enduring bands from the new wave era celebrating five decades, this November 2026 date at Chalk is one to keep an eye on.
