Live 360° immersive music experience in total darkness. 30 musicians perform live around you. See nothing. Hear everything.

The acclaimed live 360° music experience in total darkness visits Lancing for one night only.

When sight disappears, sound takes over.

Described as "a show that redefines the live music experience", "one of those gigs I will take to my grave" and "the panacea the world needs right now", in the dark is a secret sound experience in total darkness where 30 musicians perform live all around the audience, in multiple, changing positions.

The set list is a secret - though expect cinematic soundscapes, rising post-rock crescendos and intimate indie-folk - finally revealed to you as you leave. It's like Dans le Noir (the restaurant in total darkness in London) except here the art is music, not food.

No phones. No distractions. No being watched, and no watching. Instead, 75 minutes to completely tune out, and completely tune in. Because when you take sight away, sound becomes everything.

All ticket holders are provided with sleep masks for the show to take home afterwards, and don't worry if you get a little claustrophobic - there's a tiny bit of natural light coming into all our venues.

The show is traveling across the UK & Europe from London following sellout performances throughout 2025 & 2026.
