Brighton Music Blog Top 20 2024 : 7 – Lime Garden / Pop Star

Cambridge Dictionary’s word of 2024 is Manifest – “to imagine achieving something you want, in the belief doing so will make it more likely to happen”, and what better example of this than writing a song called Pop Star then spending most of the year touring the UK, then Europe then the US, and having your album go top twenty along the way?

Lime Garden play a sold out Chalk

Hot on the heels of the release of their top twenty debut album One More Thing, Lime Garden closed their UK tour on Friday night with a sold out gig at Chalk. Support came from Ladylike (who are locals so also feature in the gallery below) and Ugly.

There was a shoutout to Chloe’s mum up in the balcony when they played Mother, quips about seeing the four coolest women on International Women’s Day, one of the friendliest mosh pits I’ve seen in a while, and, by all accounts, massive queues at the Green Door Store after they announced that’s where the afterparty would be.
