About Brighton Bandstand
A home for local music, performance and the people and places that make Brighton's creative community special.
Discover local talent
Brighton and the surrounding Sussex area produce a treasure trove of music and video. We help people discover emerging and established bands, performers and releases right on their doorstep.
Explore the site, listen, watch and find something new for every mood.
A connected local guide
Alongside acts and artists, Brighton Bandstand brings together performance-related services including tuition, instruments, tuning and repair, recording studios, venues and events.
It is a dedicated guide to the sounds, skills and creative activity of Sussex by the sea.
Preserving the story
At its heart is a growing A-Z archive of past, present and new acts with a connection to Brighton and nearby Sussex.
Profiles provide a lasting shopfront, helping music, merchandise and memories remain discoverable even after a band changes, disbands or its original website disappears.
Built to grow
Music and bands are the starting point, but the project is designed to include dance, comedy, theatre and many other kinds of live performance as the community adds its knowledge.
Connections between performers, skills, acts, venues and enterprises help form a living record of the local scene.
Created for the community
Brighton Bandstand raises the profile of home-grown talent and encourages audiences to support performers through their music, merchandise, crowdfunding and memberships.
The website is continually reviewed and developed. Your questions, suggestions and local knowledge are always welcome.
