TV Smith

If you have been following the local music scene for a while, you might have noticed that TV Smith has scheduled a date in Brighton for later this year. He is set to perform on 23 October 2026. For those who might need a quick refresher, he is the founder member of The Adverts, the band that became a significant part of the late seventies punk movement. Seeing him live often feels like a direct connection to that era, given his long-standing career and his approach to songwriting that has remained consistent over the decades.

It is interesting to see him back on the road, as his touring schedule for 2026 includes several stops across the UK. While the specific venue for the Brighton date has not been detailed yet, the event is already listed on platforms like Ents24, where tickets are being managed. It is the kind of show that tends to draw people who have followed his work since his time with The Adverts, as well as those who appreciate his solo material. Since there are no specific start times or venue details confirmed at this moment, it is worth keeping an eye on the official tour listings as the date approaches to see where exactly in the city he will be playing.

Planning for an autumn gig like this is usually straightforward, especially since Brighton has a reliable network of venues that host these types of performances. Whether you are a long-time fan of his punk roots or you have been listening to his more recent solo records, this date on 23 October offers a chance to see him perform in a live setting. It is a simple, direct opportunity to catch a musician who has been a constant presence in the scene for a long time, without the usual fanfare that surrounds larger, more commercial tours.
