About HAIM
Hailing from Los Angeles, the Haim sisters – Este (bass, vocals), Danielle (lead vocals, guitar, drums), and Alana (guitars, keyboards, vocals) – burst onto the music scene with a sound that felt both timeless and utterly fresh. Growing up in a musical family, their journey began playing covers in a band with their parents, honing a natural synergy that defines their artistry today. Their debut album, ‘Days Are Gone’ (2013), immediately garnered critical acclaim, blending 70s rock sensibilities with 80s pop hooks and a dash of 90s R&B rhythm.
HAIM’s distinctive style is characterised by intricate, often surprising, instrumental arrangements and their signature three-part harmonies, which are as tight live as they are on record. Hits like ‘The Wire’, ‘Forever’, and ‘Don’t Save Me’ quickly established them as a force to be reckoned with. Subsequent albums, ‘Something to Tell You’ and the Grammy-nominated ‘Women in Music Pt. III’, further cemented their status, showcasing their evolution as songwriters and musicians with tracks like ‘Summer Girl’ and ‘The Steps’. Live, the current lineup remains the three sisters at its core, each a multi-instrumentalist powerhouse, commanding the stage with an undeniable presence and a genuine love for performing. Their unique blend of genres and heartfelt lyrics resonate deeply, making every HAIM show a truly immersive experience.
The Brighton Centre: The Perfect Setting
Nestled right on Brighton’s famous seafront, The Brighton Centre stands as a beacon of entertainment and a fitting venue for HAIM’s return. Opened in 1977, this purpose-built arena has played host to countless legendary acts over the decades, becoming a cornerstone of the city’s rich cultural landscape. Its prime location means you’re just a stone’s throw from the iconic Brighton Pier, the bustling Lanes, and a plethora of eateries and bars, making it easy to turn your gig night into a full Brighton experience.
With a main arena capacity of approximately 4,500, The Brighton Centre strikes a perfect balance: large enough to accommodate a significant crowd and provide an epic atmosphere, yet intimate enough that you still feel a genuine connection to the artists on stage. The venue is renowned for its excellent acoustics, ensuring that every guitar riff, bassline, and soaring harmony from HAIM will be delivered with crystal clarity. The Brighton Centre is also committed to accessibility, offering step-free access, lifts to all levels, accessible toilets, and dedicated seating areas for patrons with mobility requirements. It’s always advisable to contact the venue in advance to discuss specific needs and arrange assistance.
What to Expect at the Show

Fans can expect a meticulously crafted setlist that journeys through their celebrated discography, blending high-octane anthems with moments of raw, emotional depth. Anticipate hearing fan favourites like ‘The Wire’ and ‘Forever’, alongside more recent hits such as ‘The Steps’ and ‘Gasoline’, perhaps even a surprise or two from their extensive catalogue.
HAIM’s stage production is typically focused on their formidable musicianship, often featuring sleek lighting designs and impactful, yet never overwhelming, visual backdrops that enhance their performance rather than detract from it. The atmosphere will be electric, fuelled by the sisters’ infectious enthusiasm and the crowd’s collective adoration. Expect powerful guitar solos from Danielle, driving basslines and iconic “bass faces” from Este, and Alana’s captivating stage presence, all underpinned by their signature harmonies and synchronised stage moves.
