Playing Alice

Brighton, UK "all-female, all-queer disco/punk"

Playing Alice are a bold addition to the UK’s vibrant underground, hailing from Brighton and proudly identifying as an “all-female, all-queer disco/punk” group. Their distinctive presence in the British live music scene has resonated with discerning audiences seeking authentic, genre-blending performances. Rooted in the dynamic energy of disco and the raw edge of punk, Playing Alice defy easy categorisation, instead offering a sound that challenges conventions and celebrates inclusivity.

Recent months have seen Playing Alice take the stage at LOUD WOMEN FEST LONDON at Rich Mix, E1, where they supported a line-up led by Bad Static. Their powerful live shows stand alongside some of the most progressive acts in contemporary alternative music, reflecting both their musical prowess and their commitment to visibility within the LGBTQ+ and DIY communities. Each performance delivers a charged atmosphere, drawing in crowds with a compelling blend of punchy rhythms and fearless expression.

Looking ahead, Playing Alice are set to perform at Concorde II in Brighton in August 2026, sharing the line-up with headliners including Cinerama and Year Of The Bear. For those passionate about discovering innovative live acts and staying close to the pulse of British alternative music, following Playing Alice is essential—be sure to keep an eye on their tour dates and catch their next gigs to experience their dynamic stagecraft first-hand.
