About Chop Suey + Slipnot + the Violent Inzident
The lineup for this Brighton spectacle is nothing short of legendary, bringing together two titans of the tribute scene and an exciting local act. Headlining are Chop Suey, a band revered for their exceptional homage to the iconic System of a Down. Known for meticulously recreating the Armenian-American band’s unique blend of alternative metal, nu-metal, and progressive rock, Chop Suey deliver every intricate riff, every dynamic vocal shift, and every politically charged lyric with astonishing accuracy. Expect to hear all the fan favourites, from “Chop Suey!” and “Toxicity” to “B.Y.O.B.” and “Sugar,” performed with an intensity that truly captures the spirit of the originals. Their live shows are a masterclass in musical precision and raw energy, transporting audiences straight into the heart of a System of a Down concert.
Joining them are Slipnot, a collective dedicated to channelling the ferocious, masked energy of Iowa’s metal giants, Slipknot. This band doesn’t just play the songs; they embody the theatricality and sheer brutality that has made Slipknot a global phenomenon. From the pulverising drum beats and searing guitar work to the dual vocal assault, Slipnot recreate the chaos and catharsis of a true Slipknot performance. Fans can anticipate a setlist packed with anthems like “Duality,” “Psychosocial,” “Before I Forget,” and “Wait and Bleed,” all delivered with an unyielding force that will ignite the mosh pit. Their stage presence is designed to invoke the same primal energy, making for a truly immersive experience.
Kicking off the night with a bang are Brighton’s own The Violent Inzident. This local outfit has been making waves across the city’s underground scene with their abrasive yet melodic brand of punk-infused metal. Their sound is characterised by blistering guitar solos, thunderous basslines, and a vocalist whose range spans from melodic hooks to guttural roars. Known for their high-octane live performances and socially conscious lyrics, The Violent Inzident are the perfect act to set the tone, injecting their unique blend of raw power and youthful exuberance into the evening. Their energetic stage presence and burgeoning catalogue of original tracks make them a must-see for anyone looking for the next big thing in heavy music.

While its charm lies in its no-nonsense approach, the venue ensures essential amenities are available.

Getting to Volks Club
The Volks Club, located at BN2 1PS, is conveniently situated on Brighton’s iconic Madeira Drive, making it relatively straightforward to reach using various transport options. If you’re arriving by train, Brighton Station is the main hub, well-connected to London and other major UK cities. From the station, Volks Club is approximately a 20-25 minute walk down towards the seafront, or a short taxi ride.
For those relying on local public transport, numerous bus routes serve the city centre and seafront areas. Check the Brighton & Hove Buses website for the most up-to-date routes and timetables, but generally, any bus heading towards the Marina or along the seafront will get you close. Alight near the Palace Pier or the Sea Life Centre, and the Volks Club is just a short stroll east along Madeira Drive.
Driving to the venue is an option, but parking can be challenging, especially on a Friday night. There is limited on-street parking along Madeira Drive and nearby roads, which often fills up quickly. It’s usually advisable to utilise one of Brighton’s multi-storey car parks, such as the NCP Brighton Centre Russell Road or the Lanes Car Park, and then enjoy a walk along the seafront to the venue. We highly recommend using public transport or car-sharing to minimise hassle and environmental impact.
