Levellers

Brighton folk-punk heroes LEVELLERS return to Bexhill-On-Sea for the first time in 7 years for a rare live performance on the South-Coast!

Revered Brighton group the LEVELLERS are famed for their high-tempo live performances. Approaching their 40th anniversary the Levellers are still a must-see live band, a force to be reckoned with, and a political voice needed now more than ever!

Their seminal platinum-selling album ‘Levelling the Land’ redefined the UK’s musical landscape during the summer of 1991 featuring hit singles including One Way, 15 Years and Far From Home. Their most successful album was the UK number 1 album Zeitgeist which celebrates its 30th Anniversary in 2025. Most recently they released new studio album ‘Peace in 2020 which entered the UK Official Album chart at Number 8.

Main support on the day comes from legendary UK electronic-punk outfit POP WILL EAT ITSELF, alongside indie folk-rock heroes SKINNY LISTER, and buzzy Essex punks PET NEEDS.

Further supporting bill to be announced.

Gates open 2pm.

Levellers are still going strong after over 30 years in the game. They have long been, and still are, one of the best live bands around and in 2020 they released new studio album ‘Peace’ which entered the UK Official Album Charts at #8 - the band's highest charting entry since 1997's Mouth to Mouth reached #5 and improving on previous release We the Collective's #12 position in 2018.

Spring 2025 Acoustic Tour

 

After two highly acclaimed acoustic tours and albums in recent years, the Levellers Collective have announced a new 17-date tour in Spring 2025 at theatres and venues around the country plus a Live Album & DVD.

 

The Collective live shows, and albums, came about after the Levellers decided to do something a bit different with their extensive back catalogue in 2018. Together with members of fellow Brighton group The Moulettes, they went on to record two albums radically reworking their songs - with producer John Leckie (We The Collective) and Sean Lakeman (Together All The Way).

 

The new acoustic arrangements of those Levellers songs, old and new, can now also be seen and heard on a new Live Album & DVD which was recorded in 2023 at London’s iconic Hackney Empire. The film captures the spirit of the Levellers as never seen before as multiple cameras were positioned onstage for the recording and the result is a truly privileged vantage point.
