Welcome to BrightonLive 2008, a free live music festival showcasing Brighton's wonderfully diverse music scene. The festival incorporates most of the cities leading live music venues - as well as pubs, clubs, cafes, shops and alternative gig spaces - during the last week of September.
Entrance to all the events is FREE. Events include seminars, breakfast, lunchtime and evening shows, all ages shows and an outdoor stage. Plus, expect many more remarkable events which are still in the planning stages!
This year the festival takes in 4 key areas of the city, with colour coded 'festival zone' maps to make it easier for us to stumble around the city from one gig to another, carrying a belly full of booze & a heart full of music (and our trusty festival maps).
The event will run over four days from 24th to 27th September. Last year 20,000 people enjoyed the event, with 250 bands (with around 1000 artists) performing in approximately 90 free events, in 20 venues.
All this... and it's all free!
