Burgess Hill’s DIY ska-punk/pop-punk project Better Than The Book invites you to celebrate Ten Years On from its debut full-length album Two Years On by playing its long-awaited first-ever live show!
Created by multi-instrumentalist, audio engineer and music producer Nick Standing and starting in mid-2012, Better Than The Book, via high-energy instrumentals and honest, relatable lyrics about Nick's own experiences, has been on a mission to create heartfelt anthems to inspire people to live life to the full. This, along with various stories about life and living, makes up what it means to be Better Than The Book! THIS IS MY LIFE from One Small Step [EP] (2012), to Two Years On (2016), Hopes and Dreams (2019), and Side Character In My Own Life (2025)!
With numerous tracks featured on UK and international radio, including BBC Introducing, Idobi Radio and the world’s #1 ska music radio show Beefy’s Ska Club, it's about time BTTB hit the stage. If you're a fan of blink-182, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Goldfinger, Less Than Jake, Zebrahead, ELLEGARDEN or The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, then you won’t want to miss this one night only pop-punk, ska-punk, and alternative rock party like no other!
“All the stops! No regrets! We’ve waited so long!”
With special guest support from Brighton’s very own pop-punks and alt-rockers Look What Happened and LUVD!
