Rising Stars has rebranded, moved home and evolved, bringing you a bold new format and an unforgettable live music experience.
This isn’t just any gig or a showcase, it’s a curated night of seriously amazing emerging bands from Brighton, London and beyond.
Expect hand-picked acts with huge potential, high quality audio, and an environment designed to elevate artists and captivate audiences. Quality is key on all levels!
A L P H A B E T is second to none! If you have not been, now is the time, you won't be disappointed. It's a class venue!
Rising Stars will run approximately every 2 to 3 months with carefully selected lineups that highlight the very best breakout bands and new talent as we discover it. Some shows may open with intimate acoustic or vocal led sets, keeping the focus on genuine artistry throughout but with the main focus on bands with energy and a super vibe to keep you focused.
Here’s what’s in store for 16th October 2025
Joe Little (Brighton)
Joe Little’s music spans folk, left field pop with at times a very rocky punch. His experimental energy and genre blending sound defy easy categorisation. Recent singles like 'Ordinary', 'Stars', and 'Loving For the First Time' (featuring King Tear) have earned him critical acclaim including a BBC 6 Music playlist slot and praise from Clash Music for his “astonishingly potent” style. Expect a spellbinding performance, whether stripped back acoustic or full band energy. Joe is one to seriously keep on the radar and this time he is bringing the extended band!
Matilda Grace (London)
With her 2025 debut releases entitled 'Not Your Ex Yet' and 'I'd Rather Miss You', Matilda Grace fuses pop rock genre with some elements of punk in her vocals and is greatly inspired by iconic artists such as Lily Allen, Blondie, Olivia Rodrigo and The Killers. Voted #1 with "Not Your Ex yet..." after just 2 weeks in the Unsigned Top 10 Singles Chart! 🚀. Matilda’s strength lies in her commanding songwriting, which fuels her dynamic sound and anchors its intensity. She navigates emotional extremes with precision, delivering sharp verses and choruses that burn delightfully with intent laced with a bold rock edge. Her sound is for anyone caught in the uncertain space of modern relationships - raw, relatable, and unapologetically direct.
Lewis Monticelli (Brighton)
Taking his first solo steps after performing in an alt rock band, Lewis draws on 90s grunge while exploring more delicate, introspective sounds. Influenced by Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake, he delivers emotionally rich, lyrically honest songs that balance vulnerability with raw edge. Lewis returns to Rising Stars by popular demand but this time with his new band by his side, this is a band debut you won’t want to miss.
Save the Date: Our Rising Stars Christmas gig lands on Tuesday 16th December 2025 – Check IG for updated info @westpierrecordings and bring your crew for a fab Xmas shindig!
