Rock 4 Dementia — the grassroots live-music fundraising event founded in 2020 by Southport couple Sharon and Neil Thompson — is heading to Brighton for the first time on 29 March 2026, bringing a full day of live performances to raise vital funds for Dementia UK. Created in memory of Sharon’s mum, who lived with vascular dementia for nine years, Rock 4 Dementia has already raised over £5,000 in aid of Dementia UK who provide specialist dementia nurses (Admiral Nurses) for families navigating their way through a loved one’s dementia journey. What began as a local passion project born from love, loss, and a shared devotion to live music has now grown into a recognised annual event supported by musicians all over the UK.
This year’s Brighton event has been coordinated by a dedicated team of patrons led by Martin Parrott (‘Marty Love’ of Johnny Moped, Wingmen, The Sixx and many more bands), with support from fellow patrons Maxine Talulah (The Sixx), Kairen Kemp (producer and presenter for BBC Upload and Radio Reverb), Will Moore (The Prince Albert, Brighton) and punk icon Charlie Harper, widely known as the Godfather of Punk - all of whom have an extensive background and are highly respected in the world of music.
The 2026 event will take place on 29th March at The Prince Albert, Brighton, running from 1pm to 10pm and will showcase a vibrant mix of talent — from homegrown Brighton acts to musicians travelling from as far as Scotland to perform.

Exclusive Double CD Launch – Available Only at the Brighton Event
For 2026, Rock 4 Dementia will release an exclusive limited-edition double CD, available to purchase on the day. The album features 30 tracks from 30 artists all donated in support of the charity, something for which Rock 4 Dementia are very grateful. Among them is a brand-new, never-before-released song written and composed especially for Rock 4 Dementia:
“Where’ve You Been” by Baz Warne, lead singer of The Stranglers.
Other tracks come from artists who have supported previous events as well as musicians from across the wider UK music scene. It’s a must buy and only available at the event itself.
About Rock 4 Dementia

Their mission is simple: to raise vital funds for Dementia UK through the power of live music. From local bands to nationally recognised artists, the event continues to grow thanks to the generosity of the music community and the dedication of its volunteer organisers.
