Levellers

Levellers are playing the Eventim Apollo on Saturday 21 November, with doors opening at 19:00. They're not coming alone, either — Ned's Atomic Dustbin and The Meffs are on as special guests, so it's a full bill rather than just the headliners.

For those who know them, the Brighton folk-rockers are still going strong after nearly 40 years, and they've built their name on high-tempo live shows. This one comes at a particular moment for them: 2026 marks the 35th anniversary of Levelling The Land, the platinum-selling album that produced 'One Way', '15 Years', 'Far From Home', 'The Game', 'Liberty Song', 'Riverflow', 'Boatman' and 'Battle Of The Beanfield'. It's the record most people associate them with, and it's the one that put them on the map.

That wasn't the peak, though. Their Number 1 album Zeitgeist followed, hitting the top spot in the UK Official Album Chart in 1995 and keeping them at the front of British music throughout the nineties. Beyond the charts, their legacy runs into more than just the songs — you can hear them in contemporary music, see them in grassroots political movements, and trace them through the way British festival culture evolved. It's a long run for a band that started in the folk-rock tradition.

If you're looking to get in, you'll need to move fast: the show is listed as sold out, and tickets start from £295.22. Doors open at 19:00 at the Eventim Apollo on Saturday 21 November, with Ned's Atomic Dustbin and The Meffs opening for the Levellers.
