Van Morrison

Van Morrison is playing the Brighton Dome on Friday 30 October, and he's not just stopping by for one night. He's playing two consecutive dates, with the second one following on Saturday 31 October, both part of his UK tour.

It's a bit of a rarity to see an artist take a residency like this in the city, rather than a single date and on. Having two nights back-to-back gives you a choice of which one to pick, or the chance to catch him twice if you're that keen. The Dome is a big room, but it's one of the few in Brighton that can hold a crowd like this without feeling too squeezed, and it's a good fit for a full band setup.

As for what to expect, the bill is simple: it's Van Morrison and his band. He's touring the UK, so these dates are part of a wider run of shows across the country. He'll be drawing from his long career, and with two nights in the same venue, it's worth remembering that he's known for changing things up from one show to the next, so the two sets might not be identical.

If you're planning to go, the Saturday night show starts at 6:45 PM, and the Friday one is the night before. Both are at the Brighton Dome, so you've got your pick of the two.
