For those familiar with the band's history, this show centres on Ali Campbell, a founding member of the original group. The setlist is expected to draw from their most recognisable tracks, including songs like 'Red Red Wine', 'Kingston Town', '(I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You', 'Cherry Oh Baby', and 'Rat In Mi Kitchen'. It is a straightforward approach to their discography, aiming to present these tracks in a live setting for an audience that has followed their trajectory over the years.
The event is scheduled for a Friday evening, with doors opening and the programme running from 18:30 until 23:00. Tickets for the concert were released for sale on March 6, 2026, and are available through the MyTicket.co.uk platform. Given that this is the closing date of their tour, it is a specific opportunity to see this iteration of the band perform in Brighton before they wrap up their current run of shows. If you are planning to attend, the venue is the Brighton Centre, which is centrally located and accustomed to hosting events of this scale.
