“It’s going to be great to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Levelling The Land in Brighton. It’s a Brighton album, 90% of it was written in Brighton, a lot of the songs are about Brighton and its environs, so we are just made up to be playing in our home town, it’s been good to us, it’s a unique town, so it’s really important to us. Hove Park has an original standing stone in it – The Goldstone - which is good for us because we are hippies!”
- Mark Chadwick & Jeremy ‘Jez’ Cunningham of The Levellers
Emerging from Brighton in the late 1980s, Levellers have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most distinctive and must-see live acts - combining folk, punk and political energy with an enduring connection to their audience. Released in 1991, Levelling The Land became a defining album of the era, going platinum and featuring tracks including ‘One Way’, ‘15 Years’ and ‘Far From Home’, alongside ‘The Game’, ‘Liberty Song’, ‘Riverflow’, ‘Boatman’ and ‘Battle Of The Beanfield’.
The band went on to achieve a Number 1 album with Zeitgeist in 1995, further establishing their place within British music.Over the decades, Levellers’ influence has extended beyond their recordings - shaping festival culture, grassroots movements and generations of independent artists.
There will be an optional charity donation to Sussex Homeless upon ticket purchase, who the band work with closely. Speaking about the charity, the band says, “We’ve been working with Sussex Homeless for 5 years. It’s front line work, what they do is hardcore and we are really happy to support that. We’ve all been homeless back in the day, and we just used to squat, but you can’t do that anymore, that’s criminal now, so it’s an issue close to our hearts. Jim who runs it is all over it, we know the money is being used at the pointy end and we are very happy to be part of it.”
