Brighton City Centre is the most popular area for gig venues, with spaces like PRYZM Brighton and The Walrus available for various events. The North Laine area has a more alternative feel, with cool, offbeat venues perfect for indie gigs. Over in Hove, there are some stylish beachfront spots like Rockwater. And if you're planning something a little different, Withdean has large-capacity venues for big gigs or all-day events.
Most venues have their own PA systems, and many will let you bring additional gear if needed. If you’re playing at a space like The Dance Space in Tarner, Brighton or The Grand Central Brighton, they likely already have a solid setup. But if you need specific amps, monitors, or backline equipment, always check with the venue first. Some places might charge extra fees or require you to use their in-house sound tech.
Yes, but it depends on the venue. Some places, like OHSO Social, have outdoor spaces where you can perform. If you want to play an open-air gig, check if the venue has the right permits (especially for amplified music). Seafront venues tend to be more flexible with this, but it’s always best to confirm before booking.
