After the resounding success of Brighton’s ‘Homegrown Festival’ back on 12th April last year that we ourselves attended in force (Review HERE), it was inevitable that the joint organisers would once again come together for something rather special for this April.
Not surprisingly this indeed has now been confirmed via the announcement of the First Wave of Artists and the Venues taking part for this year’s ‘Homegrown’ which will be taking place on Saturday 11th April 2026. The local grassroots music venues participating are all located within 1 mile of each other and thus are easy to walk between. The venues are The Hope & Ruin, Green Door Store, Revenge, The Prince Albert, The Rossi Bar, The Folklore Rooms, The Pipeline, Alphabet, and Daltons.

The First Wave of artists for ‘Homegrown’ are as follows – click on each name to find out more:

The overall line-up will no doubt be showcasing the wealth of talent and eclectic mix of genres our city has to offer. Ranging from established touring artists to brand new artists making an impact in the music community, the festival is set to have something for everyone!
First Wave tickets are on sale now, and with each wave the price increases, so it makes sense for everyone to purchase their ticket asap! The price is really affordable and currently stands at £25, and based on the line-up announced above it’s an absolute steal! We understand that there are more quality acts already booked and that they will be added in due course. So keep your eyes peeled!
