The 1865 presents by arrangement with OGC CREATIVE
Red Hot Chili Peppers UK + Alice In Chains UK

Red Hot Chili Peppers Uk - The UK’s BEST RHCP tribute!
 “Our only goal is to be the best tribute band we can be, with UNLIMITED LOVE for the music of our youth and for a band that continues to inspire us to this day.” 
These four funky monks are all dedicated Chili Peppers fans, based in the West Midlands. They are passionate about recreating the live experience in a way that always puts the music first. The band’s sets comprise the whole of the Chili Peppers’ output, focusing on great live versions of the hits and sought-after rarities. Utilising much of the same gear and outfits as the band, you’d be hard-pressed to find a tone or feel closer to the originals!
Alice in Chains UK - The UK's premier tribute to the Seattle grunge legends Alice in Chains
Born out of an inspired love for an incredibly passionate Seattle grunge band, we adore to play all the Alice in Chains songs spanning from their early career, reciting songs from their first record ‘Facelift’ through to their last eponymous record with ex lead singer Layne Staley..
Alice in Chains UK have been playing shows all over the UK and Mainland Europe since 2015.
Boasting a song repertoire of Alice in Chains compositions 30+ strong, we showcase a mixture of all the LP’s, EP’s and live performances from Alice in Chains 30 year career.

Description

The 1865 stands as a significant cultural anchor within Southampton, a converted warehouse that has evolved into the city's premier independent venue for live events. Once a working men's club for the local dockers, its enduring presence now serves as a vital hub, drawing both established and emerging artists to the south coast and providing a dynamic space for community gatherings.

Inside, the venue retains a grounded character, with a spacious stage and a large mezzanine offering clear sightlines across the room. The rich, clear sound from the d&b audiotechnik system fills the air, while the subtle pattern of the carpet underfoot in the raised bar area adds a touch of unexpected comfort amidst the industrial aesthetic. Modern lighting rigs illuminate the space, creating an immersive atmosphere for every performance.

Practicality is well-considered, with two fully-stocked bars ensuring swift service and a range of respectfully priced drinks. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, with dedicated staff available to assist with specific requirements. While on-street parking is limited, several paid car parks are conveniently located nearby, though public transport is often the most straightforward option for event-goers.

Throughout the year, The 1865 hosts a diverse calendar of events. From vibrant club nights and live music spanning various genres to engaging comedy shows and theatrical performances, the venue also accommodates private functions, corporate gatherings, and celebratory occasions, reflecting its versatile role in the city's social fabric.
