Concorde 2, Madeira Drive, Brighton, BN2 1EN.
The Grade II listed building opened in 2000 and was originally the shelter hall for the Madeira Lift, which had carried passengers down from Marine Parade since 1890. The building was previously used as a tea room, a reading room and a bikers’ café called the Waterfront, but had been empty for around 18 months before the Concorde took over. Wind the clocks forward and now the C2 is nationally recognised as one of the UK’s leading independent live music venues and nightclubs. They regularly host concerts from 7pm to 10pm and then a club night from 11pm onwards on the same evening, so double-bubble. The Concorde 2 is now famed for hosting a diverse cross section of live music and club nights. https://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2020/04/13/the-history-of-brighton-hove-concert-venues-part-2/ (see also Concorde).
