BRADLEY SIMPSON
Riverside - Newcastle
Bradley Simpson’s solo gig at Newcastle's Riverside was a memorable night, marked by an intimate setting that brought fans closer to the music and to Bradley himself. The cosy venue stripped away the usual barriers between artist and audience, allowing everyone to feel like they were part of something unique.

The setlist hit all the right notes with the crowd. Standout performances of "Getting Clear" and "Picasso" were met with enthusiastic applause, each song showcasing Bradley’s talent and connecting well with his fans. A special moment came with his cover of Chappell Roan’s "Hot to Go," which Bradley truly made his own, bringing a fresh spin to the song that resonated with the audience.
One of the highlights of the night came during "Daisies," when fans showered the stage with daisies. Seeing Bradley react to this moment felt like a glimpse into the genuine bond he shares with his fans, a bond that has carried over from his time with The Vamps into his solo work.
Bradley’s voice was, as always, impressive—strong, soulful, and full of feeling. The Riverside’s intimate stage is a far cry from his sell out shows at the likes of Wembley and Bradley took the opportunity to connect with the fans, proving his ability to command a room with his presence and music alone.
Overall, it was a great show that gave fans a chance to see Bradley in a new light, sharing his passion in a smaller, more personal setting. The energy from both Bradley and the audience made for a night that will be fondly remembered by everyone who was there.
