Arcobaleno, 120 St Georges Road, Kemptown, BN2 1EA.

Music, Food, Drink, Joy… at Brighton's newest LGBTQ+ Bar & Restaurant. A proper treat!🌈

This event is extra special because of how this documentary rolls, amidst what’s happening right now. This is one of the interdependent music industrious that seed the Fertile Environment.

In December 2022, rock n roll live music promoter, Kick Out The Jams i.e. Roger Kent of Kent had to stop presenting joyful entertainment because of the financial climate that our new music world finds itself in.

Major events need a “pipeline” of fresh talent to exist in the future. In turn, that pipeline, The Grassroots Circuit needs the oxygene of cash, faith and exposure to be the early doors enablers for the artists to take a next step. It’s a struggle tho - see Music Venue Trust etc for more on that!

It’s extra heart warming then, to see the #BrightonMixUp festivity of noisy fun return for a third time lucky.

A select line-up, that we highly recommend to our friends - and you should, too. Sparkly, funny, inclusive crowds. Afternoon to evening showing off (on stage and otherwise!). Credible quality, mind. Some faves are returning to the KOTJ stage for this show amidst new stars joining the extending family.

Come with mates. Come solo. Bring your groovy moves, laughter and stage style while mingling with key scouts and music documentarians or just chill and enjoy in a safe space.

No tickets, badges, laminates or wristbands are needed (though this event is consistently attended by sussed music industry and media from other events happening in Brighton over the same weekend).

Not surprising really…

Kick Out The Jams has previously also presented A Void, Aargh Kid, Anna Wolf, Avalanche Party, Bang Bang Romeo, Berries, BLAB, Blackwaters, The Blinders, Bugeye, Calva Louise, Coach Party, Cross Wires, Cruel Hearts Club, Enjoyable Listens, False Heads, Fontaines D.C., Hawxx, Healthy Junkies, The Institutes, Jekyll, Mango In Euphoria, MOSES, Nadia Sheikh, Rews, Saint Agnes, Snayx, Trampolene, Vanity Fairy, The Velvet Hands, Voodoo Radio, Weekend Recovery, Wynona Bleach and MANY more names to KNOW since 2017!

Often needing a bigger venue.

We bear witness.
Mid May 2023, you can, too. It’s time to KICK OUT THE JAMS!, m…
