Juliet & Romeo
2026-11-12 19:30 - 22:00 (Europe/Paris) | Brighton Dome Concert Hall, Church St, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 1UE, United Kingdom
Juliet & Romeo
It turns out Romeo and Juliet didn’t die in a tragic misunderstanding, they grew up and lived happily ever after. Well, they lived at least. They’re now 40ish, at least one of them is in the grips of a mid-life crisis and they’re haunted by the pressures of being the poster couple for romantic love.
From Lost Dog Dance and award-winning director/choreographer Ben Duke comes a humorous and heartfelt duet about love, loss and longevity, as Juliet & Romeo confronts our cultural obsession with youth and provides a relevant take on modern relationships.

Following a hugely successful run of shows, Steve Knightley and the Winter Yards Band return in Autumn 2026. Best known as the co-founder of the revered folk phenomenon Show of Hands.
Steve Knightley’s latest work blends poetic songwriting with a cinematic acoustic sound; the band’s ‘folk noir’ style has won over audiences across the UK.
Featuring David Delarre, John Parker and Evan Carson, the show combines songs from the Winter Yards album with powerful
new material written on the road – stories of landscape, community and the changing world around us.
Steve Knightley, a highly acclaimed and multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and musician, occupies a prominent position in the folk/acoustic and roots music scene.
Quotes from the band:
David Delarre (guitar) “Steve’s songs create a landscape, and the band gets to colour it in. It’s a really exciting way to play.”
John Parker (double bass) “There’s a real cinematic quality to the music. It can be very intimate one minute and then suddenly open out into something much bigger.”
Evan Carson (percussion) “What I love about this band is the freedom. We’re not just accompanying the songs — we’re shaping the atmosphere of them.”
Steve “With the Winter Yards Band, the songs seem to breathe differently – there’s space, atmosphere and a real sense of discovery every night.”
Quotes from elsewhere:
“Some of the best songs written in the last twenty years” — Mark Radcliffe, 6Music
“The gravel-voiced spokesman of the rural poor” — Robin Denselow, The Guardian
“One of the Great English Bands” – Peter Gabriel

Americana singer-songwriter Noah Guthrie’s sound has been described as possessing Chris Stapleton’s country/rock grit with the authenticity of Jason Isbell. The unique soulfulness in his richly textured voice and the unmistakable Southern influence in his music makes him capable of conveying emotion as only a handful of artists can in today’s musical landscape. Noah’s latest album, Oddly Flexible, is a bittersweet reflection on growing up and the disorienting changes that come with it. The album explores the contrast between the freedom and wonder of childhood imagination with the harsh realities of adulthood. Noah speaks on things he’s learned and, often more importantly, things he has unlearned. Despite the overwhelming weight of changing times, here’s an undercurrent of hope that each new day brings a chance to find perspective and healing.
Noah has built a strong following through powerful live performances, social media and television. He has released three critically-acclaimed albums. He has also performed on NBC’s Today Show and Tonight Show, Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family, and ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. The producers at the hit FOX TV show, GLEE, discovered his YouTube channel and were so Impressed with Noah’s voice, that they recruited him as a cast member for the sixth season of the show. Noah was also a semi-finalist on the 13th season of America’s Got Talent.
As a solo performer (as well as with his band, Good Trouble) Noah has performed at major festivals, fairs and clubs all over the United States and Europe. Noah has opened for an impressive group of artists including Ed Sheeran, Ben Rector, Corey Smith, Sister Hazel, Matt Nathanson, Dwight Yoakam and has had the rare privilege of opening 12 shows for the legendary Willie Nelson!

Von Hertzen Brothers (Acoustic Enough)
2026-11-03 19:30 - 23:00 | Komedia, 44-47 Gardner Street, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 1UN, United Kingdom
Von Hertzen Brothers (Acoustic Enough) | Finnish progressive rock visionaries Von Hertzen Brothers, return to the UK in October 2026 for a very special run of intimate seated theatre shows.
Celebrating 25 years as a band, the Finnish band will present a unique live experience unlike anything they have previously brought to UK audiences. The band wryly describe these performances as acoustic “enough” – while the songs may be reimagined away from their usual electric rock set-up, these shows are anything but stripped back. Far from a simple “unplugged” set, these shows interpret the band’s music in a way that is intimate, expansive and more immersive than ever before.
The three brothers, Mikko, Kie and Jonne Von Herzen are joined on stage by their bandmate, multi-instrumentalist Markus Pajakkala whose impressive array of instruments goes far beyond a traditional acoustic set-up. The brothers themselves also show off their insane musical skills, each playing multiple instruments and taking turns on drums, keyboards, guitars, vocals, percussion and whatever else is on hand.
Presented in seated theatre and cabaret style venues, these evenings are designed to bring audiences closer to the songs and stories at the heart of the music. Spanning the band’s rich 25-year catalogue, audiences can expect fan favourites, deep cuts and rarely performed material presented in brand new arrangements created especially for these shows.
For over two decades, Von Hertzen Brothers have built a reputation as one of Europe’s most adventurous and compelling live bands. Blending progressive rock, folk, psychedelia and soaring vocal harmonies, they have earned a devoted following through their nine acclaimed studio albums, major festival appearances and unforgettable live performances.
Whether you are discovering Von Hertzen Brothers for the first time or have followed them for years, Acoustic Enough promises a unique concert experience unlike any other.

Defined by Brian’s ageless, clear tenor, Stornoway’s songs are uplifting, heartfelt, and dashingly melodic; but the songs are just the start. This is a band that runs on curiosity. Producing their own records, they take a bespoke approach to each track. With a wonderfully diverse range of instrumentation and an unmistakable joy in the creative process, every one of their songs is given a very beautiful and carefully considered place to live – musically and geographically, with recording locations including campervans, wind-buffeted barns, chapels and community centres.
Stornoway lit up 2010 with their thrilling debut Beachcomber’s Windowsill, the culmination of a five-year journey with its starting point in a Freshers week meeting at Oxford University between Brian Briggs and the band’s arranger and multi-instrumentalist Jon Ouin. After connecting with South African-born brothers Rob (drums) and Oli Steadman (bass), the band honed its sound and aims, self-releasing a series of EPs before finally signing to 4AD for the release of Beachcomber’s Windowsill.
Now, Stornoway unveils their most ambitious album yet, Beyonder, out 25 September on Cooking Vinyl. Widely recognised as a band at the intersection of music and conservation, the group continues that mission with an album of wild hope, born from isolation and exploration. Beyonder channels the powers of the natural world to reconnect us, using music to bring people closer to nature.
Beyonder is an album for a changing world. It confronts the biodiversity and climate crises, the rise of divisive politics, and the toll these pressures take on our minds and communities. These songs are about journeys and destinations, discovery and choice, and taken together they cultivate a hopeful state of mind in unsettled times.
Alice Boyd is a South-London-based musician and sound artist, blending voice, synth, live looping
and field recordings into immersive folk-ambient performances rooted in deep listening and the natural
world.
