Things to do this March in Brighton…
Live Music
You can’t go far in Brighton without stumbling across some live music. With many independent venues championing the best in live music, here’s a run-down of what not to miss this month.
The eighties were one of the defining decades for music, and Echo and the Bunnymen were one of the decade’s defining bands. Helping to soundtrack the broken hearts of a generation, the band paved the way for countless contemporary bands. Echo and Bunnymen play Brighton Dome on Sunday, March 3rd for a special five-hour set, playing all their hits from a career spanning over forty years.
Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are musical pioneers and were the chief songwriters for the legendary band Radiohead. Their recent collaborative project, The Smile, isn’t so much a departure from Radiohead’s galvanising sound, but a progression. For fans of Radiohead, and music in general, this is a must-attend event. The Smile play The Brighton Centre on March 18th and tickets can be purchased through the link above.
Best known for the career-defining 1996 record, Endtroducing, DJ Shadow has been at the forefront of the electronic music scene ever since. Famous for his sample-laden music, DJ Shadow has been soundtracking club nights and house parties for decades and returns to Brighton on March 19th and Concorde 2 for a not-to-be-missed night. Tickets can be purchased through the link above.
With their distinctive, hard-hitting, politically motivated sound, Hastings band Kid Kapichi have been making waves on the indie-rock circuit recently, drawing comparisons to bands such as Idles and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. The East Sussex outfit plays familiar turf on March 29th for their biggest show in Brighton to date at Concorde 2. Tickets can be purchased through the link above.
Live Comedy
It’s no secret that Brighton and comedy go hand-in-hand. Here’s a run-down of the very best comedy nights to attend this month.
The month of March kicks off with a bang as Scottish comedy legend Daniel Sloss returns to Brighton touring his new show “Can’t” at Brighton Dome on March 1st. “Can’t” is Sloss’s twelfth solo show and the Scottish comedian has gone from strength to strength on the comedy circuit in recent years with his sizzling brand of on-the-nose comedy. Tickets can be purchased through the link above.
British comedians don’t come much bigger and recognisable than Bill Bailey. The comedian is touring his new show “Thoughtifier” with a special show at The Brighton Dome on March 9th. Bailey’s larger-than-life brand of comedy has won him countless plaudits over a glittering career, whilst it’s impossible to call yourself a connoisseur of comedy without witnessing the man himself on stage in the flesh. Tickets can be purchased through the link above.
Komedia is Brighton’s unofficial home of comedy and with a plethora of comedy nights in store at the venue during March, here at We Love Brighton, we must point you in the direction of Komedia Comedy Club. This weekly event showcases some of the very best names in comedy both locally and from further afield. Tickets for the night can be purchased through the link above.
There’s no shortage of fantastic comedy nights in Brighton. The Forge Comedy Club hosts a weekly showcase of the very best in local comedy talent and always produces a fine lineup guaranteed to make you laugh.

Club Nights
Club nights are two-a-penny in Brighton. With themed club nights taking place almost every night of the week, here’s a run-down of the best club nights this month.
There’s no better way to spend a Friday night welcoming Spring by singing your heart out to the hook-laden music of Oasis. With the Gallagher brothers unlikely to reform the legendary band anytime soon, your best bet at singing along to Oasis’ hits at the top of your lungs in a crowded venue is at Patterns on March 1st for a club night like no other. Tickets for “Definitely Oasis” can be purchased through the link above.
If you consider yourself a Swifty, then you’ll need to clear your diary on the night of March 2nd. Komedia’s themed club nights are always a treat and if you’re a fan of the music of the undisputed new queen of pop music, Taylor Swift, then you won’t want to miss “Swift! At The Disco.” Marrying the sounds of Taylor Swift and noughties Emo music feels like a recipe for a dance cocktail like no other. Tickets for the event can be purchased through the link above.
SIN, at TIDE, pays weekly respect to the service industry and keeps our drinks topped up and the vibes flowing every weekend. If you currently work behind a bar or serve tables in a busy restaurant then this is the place to unwind and enjoy a few drinks of your own on Sundays throughout March. With plenty of deals on drinks for service industry workers and DJs playing the very best in banging tunes, who says the weekend needs to wind down on a Sunday?
