Brighton Live

This free-to-see celebration of Brighton music involves more than 100 acts across many venues over four days
the line up looks like one of the most interesting and strongest line ups in the festival's
eight year history.

With a mixture of showcase events, curated performances and featured strands the festival aims to increase promotional and career opportunities for all.

The festival still retains it's 'open access' policy for much of the programme, and on the Saturday a number of seminars and networking opportunities will take place, aimed at helping artists get to grips with the changing nature of today’s music industry.

New Strands New Music

Every year, Brighton Live highlights specific genres of music and invites artists producing work in these genres to perform. Our first strand this year will focus on 'Music and Moving Image', presenting artists making music specifically for film, video, and art shorts. Featuring a wide range of musical styles and visual content, it will be a feast for the eyes as well as the ears.

Our second strand will celebrate 'Experimental and Improvised Music'; everything from electronic noise to improvised quartets with classical instruments... it's guaranteed to be something you haven't heard before and an opportunity to discover a musical gem and expand your aural horizons.
