The Zac Schulze Gang

If you have been keeping an eye on the local music scene, you might have noticed that The Zac Schulze Gang is heading to Brighton this November. They are scheduled to play at The Hope & Ruin on Saturday, 14 November 2026, as part of their current UK tour. It is a bit of a homecoming for the energy they have been building up, especially considering they have been quite active on the circuit lately.

For those who haven't caught them live yet, the band is a trio that started back in 2020 in Gillingham, Kent. It consists of Zac Schulze on vocals and guitar, his brother Ben Schulze on drums, and Ant Greenwell on bass. Their sound is a mix of 70s blues-rock with some punk energy thrown in. They often mention influences like Rory Gallagher, AC/DC, and Thin Lizzy, but you can also hear nods to more modern acts like Royal Blood or Turnstile in their approach. They have been picking up some recognition recently, having won the 'Young Artist of the Year' award at the UK Blues Awards in both 2025 and 2026.

This tour is largely focused on their debut album, Straight To It, which came out in September 2025. If you are planning to go, tickets have been on sale since late February 2026. They are generally priced between £20 and £25, plus the usual booking fees. You can pick them up through alttickets.com or directly via the band's own website. It is worth noting that while there is already talk of a 2027 tour, this specific date in November is the one to mark on your calendar if you want to see them in Brighton this year.
