What's On in Brighton
Tuesday 16 June 2026
Brighton has a habit of making any Tuesday feel like the best night of the week, and the 16th of June is no exception. From ocean depths to neon-drenched dance floors, via intimate acoustic corners and full-throttle metal, the city is throwing the whole spectrum at you tonight. Pick your adventure — or better yet, start early and work your way through.
Highlights

Sea Life Brighton - Standard Admission — Whether you are eight years old or eighty, there is something quietly magical about standing inches away from a shark gliding through dark water. Sea Life Brighton opens at 10:00am and makes for a brilliant way to spend a Tuesday morning or afternoon with family, friends, or honestly just yourself. Check the website for current admission prices and to book your slot.

LA DISPUTE — Post-hardcore titans LA Dispute bring their raw, literary intensity to Chalk at 6:00pm, and if you have never seen them live, prepare to have your chest caved in by the sheer emotional force of it. The band are one of the most compelling live acts in their genre, turning each show into something that feels more like a confession than a concert. Check the website for tickets before they disappear.

Acoustic Night | Intimate Music — The Bees Mouth is exactly the kind of tucked-away Brighton gem that reminds you why this city is so endlessly loveable, and at 7:30pm it hosts an evening of acoustic music that lives up to its name in every sense. For just £7 you get something rare — real songs played close, in a room small enough that you can feel the vibration of the strings. Bring a friend, order a drink, and let yourself slow down for a couple of hours.

The Secret Comedy Club Open Mic AKA See You Next Tuesday — Five pounds gets you into Artista Cafe and Gallery at 7:00pm for an open mic comedy night that wears its cheeky name like a badge of honour. Open mic nights are where comedy is at its most alive — unpredictable, occasionally chaotic, and genuinely thrilling when someone absolutely nails it. Grab a seat early, expect the unexpected, and come ready to laugh.

Blood Incantation — If your Tuesday needs to end in a swirling vortex of cosmic death metal, Blood Incantation at Brighton Concorde 2 at 7:30pm is your answer. The Denver band have built a cult following by pushing the boundaries of the genre into genuinely psychedelic, almost prog-influenced territory, and their live shows are the stuff of legend among devotees. Check the website for tickets — this one will sell.
CU Next Tuesday | glowjob - UV Neon Party — Come 11:00pm, Quarters Brighton transforms into a pulsing UV playground for just £3–£7, and if you have never danced under neon black lights with a room full of people who are entirely committed to a good time, tonight is the night to start. CU Next Tuesday has become a reliable fixture for those who believe Tuesday nights deserve to go properly late. Wear white, or wear neon, or wear whatever you like — just come ready to move.
