Love + Crystal Teardrop | Brighton
Love Brighton
Love live in Brighton at Concorde 2 on 1st May 2026! Get tickets above, or from SeeTickets.
LOVE with Johnny Echols sees Arthur Lee’s longest serving band set to tour the UK performing the classic songs from Love’s first three albums Love, Da Capo, Four Sail and of course the timeless Forever Changes.
2026 also marks the 60th anniversary of their debut album and the release of its follow-up Da Capo.This year Rhino will release a five-disc vinyl box set (containing the first four albums and a disc of rarities) with a liner essay written by David Fricke, formerly of Rolling Stone magazine.
This isn’t just a nostalgia trip –their shows are drawing in an increasingly younger audience as teens and students are discovering the timeless music produced by these 60s legends performed by a band that is truly on top of its game.
Joining Johnny Echols on stage is Baby Lemonade who from 1993 until Arthur’s death in 2006 performed as his band and became an essential part of the renaissance of LOVE’s music.This iteration of LOVE saw many sold-out tours, as well as back-to-back Glastonbury performances and an appearance on Later with Jools Holland.
LOVE is:
Johnny Echols: Guitar, Vocals
Rusty Squeezebox: Lead Vocals, Guitar
Mike Randle: Guitar, Vocals
David “Daddyo”:Green: Drums
James Nolte:Bass

+ Crystal Teardrop: The Crystal Teardrop recently released their debut album ‘The Crystal Teardrop… Is Forming’ on Rise Above Records on 2 May 2025. Performing to capacity crowds in London, Paris and Liege, the band generated a feverish buzz of excitement in anticipation of the release of their all-analogue album produced by the legendary Liam Watson (Elephant, The White Stripes) which, full of the vibrant energy and musical experimentation that has become the band’s trademark, has already received excellent reviews from around the globe and has built on their pre-existing reputation for captivating high-energy live performances.
Shindig wrote in May 2025: ‘The Crystal Teardrop are all about sensory overload; it’s all too much, but in the best way possible’ describing lead singer Alexandra Rose as ‘high-kicking and wielding a Vox Teardrop like a psych-ninja Nancy Sinatra’.
