JOY. Concerts have shared a run of spring highlights across Brighton and the South Coast, bringing together landmark indie names, cult favourites and emerging artists across March and April.
Leading the programme are two special Brighton shows from The Cribs, marking 25 years of one of the UK’s defining indie bands (Concorde 2, 27th-28th March), with a second night added due to demand. Rising Canadian songwriter Leith Ross plays Concorde 2 on 8th March, while Brighton favourites Demob Happy return home for a major spring date at the venue on 23th April. The run also includes a hometown show from The Ordinary Boys in Worthing (14th March).
Elsewhere, country-pop artist Twinnie plays a sold-out show at Komedia (4th April), cinematic post-rock duo Nordic Giants bring their immersive live show to Quarters on 11th April and cult songwriter Ora Cogan plays The Hope & Ruin (19th March).
Additional highlights include Americana-indie outfit Little Grandad at The Prince Albert (27th April), and UK alt project Rún with dark electronic artist Penelope Trappes (Green Door Store, 28th April).
JOY. also continues to support emerging local talent, including fast-rising Brighton artist Goodbye (14th April, A L P H A B E T) and hotly tipped band Prostitute, whose show is sold out (27th April, Green Door Store).
With a programme spanning grassroots rooms through to landmark coastal venues, JOY. Concerts continue to play a central role in Brighton’s live music landscape while championing both established and emerging talent.
