Having featured in our 'Ones to Watch for 2022' last year, it was serendipitous to have the opportunity to catch Holly Humberstone's recent gig at NX Newcastle. Having championed Holly's career early on, it was great to finally get to see a live show.
The appearance of opening act L Devine in her hometown added something extra special to the occasion. The recently refurbished NX filled up nicely with its impressive balconies full of eager fans, all keen to get a good view of the stage. L Devine opened up to rapturous applause from her fellow Geordies, and the positive energy definitely filled the room.
With a fairly extensive set, L Devine was clearly enjoying the show as much as the crowd. A fantastic performance by a fantastic performer suggests that big things are on the way for this rising North East star.

After a short break, the house lights dimmed and Holly Humberstone's band took the stage to kick off the main event. As the intro to 'The Walls Are Way Too Thin' played, the anticipation was building as Holly Humberstone took the stage to a roar of happy cheers from the crowd.
Playing a plethora of fan favourites, Holly put on a real crowd pleasing show. The Newcastle crowd was buzzing, and they were in fine voice, singing along and having an awesome night. If you haven’t heard of Holly Humberstone yet, fear not, as 2023 is already shaping up to be a big year with yet another Newcastle show in June, this time supporting North East star Sam Fender on his massive St. James’ Park show, so you will no doubt see a lot from this rising UK singer songwriter in the near future.
Holly’s first EP was released just over a year ago, and since then she has been building up a solid fanbase that clearly loves the music she writes and plays. From ‘Vanilla’ to ‘Overkill’, the audience was lapping it up. The packed out venue and the smiling faces is testaments to the talent that Holly Humberstone and her band have when it comes to putting on a live show.
Overall, it was a great night and definitely well worth braving the cold weather for. If you have yet to hear ‘The Walls Are Way Too Thin’, head over to www.hollyhumberstone.com and check it out.
