Ulrika Spacek

On Thursday, 8th October 2026, Ulrika Spacek will be performing at The Hope & Ruin as part of their upcoming international tour. This visit to Brighton follows the release of their fourth studio album, 'EXPO', which is slated to arrive on 6th February 2026 through the Full Time Hobby label. The band, which formed in Reading in 2014 and eventually moved their base to London, has become a staple in the alternative and experimental rock scene. Their music is often characterised by a distinctive triple guitar attack, creating a sound that moves between jangle pop, fuzz, and more psychedelic influences. For those who follow the band, this tour represents a significant return to the road, covering dates across the UK, Europe, and North America.

The performance at the Queens Road venue is scheduled to start at 20:00. As a five-piece collective, Ulrika Spacek are known for layering angular guitar melodies with atmospheric textures, resulting in what many describe as spectral sonic landscapes. Seeing them at The Hope & Ruin offers a specific kind of environment; the venue is well-integrated into Brighton’s independent circuit and suits the band's experimental aesthetic. Since the show is part of the 'EXPO' tour, the setlist will likely feature a heavy dose of the new material, giving listeners a first-hand look at how their latest studio work translates into a live environment.

In terms of the practical side of things, tickets are currently available for £16.90, a price that already accounts for the management fees. You can pick them up through See Tickets or Universe. The venue itself is located at 10-12 Queens Road, BN1 3WA, which is a short walk from the station for anyone coming from other parts of the city. While no specific age limits have been highlighted for this date, the combination of the venue’s pub setting and the band’s niche within the experimental rock genre typically attracts a local crowd of young adults and long-time indie fans. It’s a standard evening show that fits into the regular flow of Brighton’s mid-week live music calendar.
