A new show at Brighton Festival 2026 promises to “deconstruct the conventions of live music – in a unique domestic setting.”

“KlangHaus: Last Haus on Earth is a totally unique, site-responsive live music experience,” says spokesman Steve Forster.

“Barriers between performers and audience are dismantled in an audio/visual sensual storm. “KlangHaus are art-rock mavericks The Neutrinos, with music ranging from pin drop quiet to full on loud and back again, and artist and film-maker Sal Pittman whose stunningly evocative and original films and projections cloak the entire space with, at times, all hell breaking loose.

“KlangHaus: Last Haus on Earth takes place in a dramatically enhanced domestic setting created in Brighton Dome’s skylit top floor Anita’s Room. The performers invite you into their personal space, to become integral to the show, immersed in the present, the sound, the lights. To sit, stand, lean and move in and around the musicians. A full-on sensory experience of an intimate shared musical and theatrical experience for small audience numbers, blending sound, song, humour, image, pathos, words, theatre, movement and silence.”

Previous incarnations of KlangHaus have sold out two Edinburgh Festival runs and two month-long seasons at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Audience members have described it as ‘like being inside the most amazing music video ever’ and ‘how I imagine Andy Warhol’s Factory must have felt with The Velvet Underground playing.’

Co-devisor/singer Karen Reilly said “Last Haus on Earth invites you on a journey from make-yourself-at-home to the microcosmic metropolis, through the deep and blue and breathless, to space and stars. We welcome everyone to share our life of wall-to-wall music, light, sound and saturated colour. The shows are performed within our domestic setting, divided by film screens, projections, instruments, smoke and mirrors.”

Klanghaus are The Neutrinos (Karen Reilly vocals, Jon Baker bass, piano and vocals, Mark Howe guitars and vocals, Jeron Gundersen, drums and percussion) and visual artist and filmmaker Sal Pittman. https://klanghaus.co/. The Neutrinos released the soundtrack album for Last Haus on Earth on May 1 via Wet Nurse Records.
