Electronic pioneers OMD offer Sussex NHS fund-raiser
My Charity University Sussex Hospitals has confirmed that electronic pioneers Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) will headline the sixth NHS My Music concert at the Brighton Centre on June 28.
Spokeswoman Jane Keating said: “Following a stellar run of four sold-out shows in 2025 featuring The Lightning Seeds, Circa Waves, Spiritualized, Skindred and recently announced for 2026 Starsailor, NHS My Music continues its mission to blend world-class entertainment with vital community support.”
“From the experimental mastery of Architecture and Morality (1981) to the global 1986 smash If You Leave, OMD have shaped the musical landscape for over four decades. Having sold over 40 million records, the duo recently reached new creative heights with their 2023 album Bauhaus Staircase and a record-breaking 2024 tour that culminated at London’s O2 Arena. Now Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys bring their high-energy, hit-laden set to Brighton to support the local NHS.
“NHS My Music is a sub-brand of My Charity, the dedicated NHS charity for local hospitals in Sussex. This initiative turns concert tickets into tangible healthcare improvements. By partnering with JOY. Concerts, the initiative bridges the gap between world-class entertainment and essential community impact.
“100% of profits from ticket sales go directly toward supporting patients, their families, and the hardworking NHS staff across the region. From enhancing clinical environments to funding cutting-edge equipment, every beat played helps strengthen the Sussex healthcare community.”

After the incredible energy of our shows with bands like Skindred and The Lightning Seeds last year, OMD is the perfect act to keep that momentum going. It’s about more than just a gig; it’s about our community coming together to take care of those who take care of us.”
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) will perform on June 28 at The Brighton Centre.
