Autumn season announced

Here's a run-down of the amazing gigs we've got coming up at the De La Warr Pavilion this autumn...

Performing songs from her second album My Best Friend is You, Kate Nash brings her inimitable, candid take on life to the Pavilion.

Four years on from her number one debut album, having experienced the highs and lows of love and loss, Corinne Bailey Rae is back with the long awaited follow up The Sea. Her delivery, both on record and live, allows a unique beauty and wonder to radiate from the dark corners of explored themes such as love and loss.


Laurie Anderson

An intimate evening of songs and stories including pieces from Anderson’s acclaimed solo shows The Speed of Darkness, Happiness, The End of the Moon and Homeland. Featuring voice, electronics and violin, she will spin off-beat adventure tales with her characteristic wit and charisma.


Marc Almond
13 November, £22.50
Critically acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Marc Almond returns to the Pavilion for what will surely be a special experience. His success as both a solo artist and as part of British electro-duo Soft Cell, make him an important British musical icon.
