There are already hundreds of concerts planned to take place right across the city of Brighton & Hove for 2020. The events will be happening in small, medium and large venues from January to December and across many genres.

Brighton is such a buoyant place with many exciting acts wanting to perform here. But quite often concerts can throw up a clash of dates, so your nights out have to be carefully planned for the best results.

Some concert announcements can certainly create a bigger buzz around the place than others. To that end, we have selected a mere 20 up-and-coming events from the first half of 2020 that at this moment in time have got that x-factor. These are listed in date order and all carry a link to our preview article (for further information) and also a link for you to purchase your tickets. Good luck!
