Vox Lumiere: Metropolis

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton this September, there is a live performance coming to The Old Market that caught my eye. On Saturday, 12 September 2026, the venue is hosting Vox Lumiere Metropolis, a show that takes Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent film classic and reimagines it as a live, immersive experience. Rather than just watching the film, the performance integrates a live band, original music, and vocalists directly into the screening. It is essentially a blend of a rock concert, a theatrical production, and a film, which feels like an interesting way to revisit a piece of cinema history.

The show is scheduled to start at 19:30 at The Old Market, located at 11A Upper Market St, Brighton and Hove. The performance runs for approximately 97 minutes. It is worth noting that the event is recommended for those aged 8 and up, though anyone under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult. It seems like the kind of event that works well if you are planning an evening out with friends or family who enjoy film or live music.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are available at different price points. General admission is £30, concessions are £23, and VIP tickets are priced at £37, with an additional £1 booking fee per ticket applied by the venue. If you are planning to go as a larger group, there is a 20% discount available for parties of 10 or more. For those opting for the VIP package, the ticket includes priority seating, a VIP badge and lanyard, two soundtrack CDs, an instant digital download of the soundtrack, a temporary tattoo, and a Metropolis sticker. It is a specific set of perks if you are a fan of the film or the band's work.
