No Wristband For The Wicked
Viberiders presents No Wristband For The Wicked — a free live music night at Waterbear Music Bar, Brighton.
No wristbands. No gatekeeping. Just three brilliant acts, one intimate venue, and free entry.
PORCHLIGHT (Headliner) Brighton’s finest live band. Rough Trade called them “one of the most beguiling acts to watch this side of the Atlantic.” Restless, agitated, and impossible to pin down. Latest single ‘Squinny’ , a gentle ode to whinging and the South coast, out now on all platforms. → instagram.com/porchlightporchlight
SCHOOL DISCO
Brighton four-piece fresh off their fourth album SD IV (Krautpop! Records, Feb 2026). BBC Radio 6 Music New Music Fix, Radio X X-Posure, and praised by Clash Magazine as “music of real weight and originality.” Drawing on Krautrock, Black Sabbath and progressive rock — their live shows are the stuff of legend.
SWIVEL
Manchester newcomers making their Brighton debut. Already turning heads on the northern circuit through the Akoustik Anarkhy collective. Watch this space.
