Gigs in Brighton with The Amazons, Nirvana UK, Cancer Bats, REEF, Every Hell, Employed to Serve, Chasing Abbey, Tigercub, Grommet

Tuesday, October 13, 2026 - Chalk, Brighton

• Cancer Bats
• Ignite
• Knives

Chalk turns feral on 13 October 2026 when Cancer Bats roll in with Ignite and Knives. The Toronto band fuse hardcore punk with southern rock heft, a sound honed on festival stages from Download to Slam Dunk. California’s Ignite add melodic hardcore and punk rock urgency, stacking gang vocals and sharp hooks against Cancer Bats’ thicker riffing. Bristol’s post-punk outfit Knives open, twisting angular rhythms and wiry guitars into the night’s heaviest bill. It is one of the tour’s most hardcore-focused Brighton stops, pushing Chalk’s PA deep into the red.
