With more than 100 million streams on Spotify, the alternative pop‑rock music band The Hoosiers is returning to Brighton with an exclusive new record to share.

Their most recent album, Compassion, has enjoyed packed‑out acoustic record‑store tour success, and the duo is on a mission to beat the post‑summer blues.

Taking the stage at CHALK on the 16th of October, the band promises high energy and nostalgia, inviting fans to join in sing‑along and dance‑along moments with friends and family.

The Hoosiers are known for their UK Top‑10 hits “Worried About Ray” and “Goodbye Mr A,” along with fan favourite “Choices.”
