Tropic Gold x Banks Arcade

If you are looking for something a bit different to do on a Sunday evening this summer, there is a show coming up at Patterns on July 5th that might be worth noting. Tropic Gold and Banks Arcade are heading to Brighton as part of their joint tour, presented by Divergent Promotions. It is one of those gigs that brings together two acts with quite distinct approaches to modern alternative music, which makes for an interesting lineup if you are into that heavier, electronic-infused sound.

Tropic Gold has been gaining some traction lately with their blend of metal, pop, and electronic elements. You might have heard tracks like 'HOLY HORROR' or 'A PLACE CALLED EUPHORIA' from their EP, SICK TO DEATH OF EVERYTHING. They have had some support from outlets like BBC Radio 1 and Kerrang!, so they are definitely in a phase where they are finding their footing in the scene. Sharing the stage with them are Banks Arcade, who lean into a mix of modern metal, hip-hop, and electronics. They have been touring behind their album Future Lovers, and they tend to bring a high-energy performance style that contrasts well with the more atmospheric side of the bill.

The event is scheduled to run from 19:00 to 22:00 at the venue on 10 Marine Parade. Regarding the logistics, it is an age-restricted show for those 14 and over. If you are under 16, you will need to be accompanied by an adult, and if you are 18 or older, remember to bring a photo ID with you to get in. While the official listing on Visit Brighton currently marks the ticket price as 'TBC', it is worth checking the Patterns website directly for the final cost. For context, tickets for other stops on this same tour, such as the date in Norwich, have been priced around £18.70, which gives you a rough idea of what to expect. It is a straightforward setup for a Sunday night if you want to catch some live music without the usual weekend chaos.
