Three big new events have been added to an already busy summer calendar in Brighton & Hove.

They include an outdoor show by US skateboard legend Tony Hawk, a rugby 7s festival and a weekend of live music on the seafront headlined by platinum-selling artist Newton Faulkner.

Newton Faulkner is booked to appear in a charity event called @Sunset  on Friday and Saturday, July 30 and 31.  Taking place next to the West Pier, the show will accommodate some 4000 people, with tickets priced around £30.  It will be filmed for screening on Channel 5.

An international rugby 7s event is now scheduled for July 23-25 at Waterhall, just north of Brighton.  It will have an elite competition of 16 premiership-standard teams plus contests for amateurs and women.  A campsite will be set up to accommodate up to 5000 spectators and players.

Skateboard star Tony Hawk will perform the only UK show of a European tour in Brighton, on Wednesday July 21, next to the West Pier.  The show includes live music from Biffy Clyro plus demonstrations from other pro skaters in a specially-built half-pipe.  It is possible tickets will be free, but not confirmed.

Other events include:

Regular concerts will be staged on the restored seafront bandstand.  Freerange near St Peter’s Church effectively replaces the temporary Spiegeltent venue absent from this year’s Brighton Festival.

Also new is a free community show as part of the No Fit State Circus on the Level this week, up to May 23.  All-comers are invited to attend and perform.

Party on the Green in Coldean is a new community event on May 22.

Tens of thousands are expected to attend a celebration of 75 years of Brighton & Hove Buses, on Madeira Drive on June 13.

Seems like there is something for everyone so why not pop along to one of them?
