Concorde 2 is one of Brighton's longest-established live music venues, sitting a pebble's throw off the sea on Madeira Drive. Housed in a Grade II listed Victorian building that began life as tea rooms in the 1800s and opened as a music venue in 2000, the roughly 600-capacity room - programmed across three spaces with an L-Acoustics sound system - has hosted globally recognised bands, solo artists and club nights across every genre for over two decades. Its 2026 autumn diary alone runs through Brighton Psych Fest and China Crisis to Beth Orton and tribute nights, and the venue doubles as a wedding, corporate and filming location for the likes of BBC Studios and Channel 4. Its beachfront setting and multi-room programming make it a fixture of the city's nightlife.
