Yonaka Concert

Brighton's own Yonaka is set to return to the city later this year, playing the intimate setting of the Concorde 2 on the seafront. The show is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, 2026. For those unfamiliar, Yonaka is a quartet known for their distinctive sound, often described as a blend of grunge rock and dark pop, fronted by vocalist Theresa Jarvis. Their style has been noted for mixing "ice-clean melodies with dark indie," creating a sound that’s been compared to "clashing soul with all-out hedonism." Given the Concorde 2’s capacity, which usually sits around 400 to 500 people, this is likely to be a tight, high-energy gig, especially considering the band's history of playing the venue located on Madeira Drive.

If you’re planning to head down for the show, doors are set to open at 19:30 (7:30 PM), with the event expected to wrap up around 23:00. The concert is being presented by FORM & JOY. Regarding tickets, general admission standing is currently priced at £31.38, including fees. It’s worth noting that due to the limited capacity of the venue, tickets are in high demand; some resale sites are already listing them significantly higher, so planning ahead seems wise. Also, keep in mind the age restriction: this is a 14+ event, meaning anyone under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult.

The fact that Yonaka originated right here in Brighton back in 2015 adds a layer of local connection to this performance. Their sound, which manages to balance powerful vocals with a dark indie edge, is particularly well-suited for the close quarters of the Concorde 2. For those who appreciate the band's unique approach, seeing them in a venue where they have a history is always a good bet. If you’re looking for a solid night of alternative music this autumn, mark October 6, 2026, on your calendar.
