After seeing them twice in the past, I wasn’t sure what to expect this time around,it was my first without Tom leading the charge. But any hesitation faded the moment the lights dropped. The show was one of two intimate warm up gigs for the Kasabian so as you can imagine, the place was packed. What followed was a masterclass in energy, swagger and showmanship, delivered by a band that has found a new kind of fire.

CONTINUE READING  There was a real buzz around the City Hall on Sunday night. You could feel it building even before the lights went down. Sequins everywhere, people chatting in the queue about what they were hoping to hear, the usual scramble for merch and drinks.

To celebrate the new record ahead of its August release, Bryan has taken to the road on the 'Roll With The Punches' tour, which kicked off in Newcastle upon Tyne at the Utilita Arena. Bryan didn't bring a support act with him, but what he did bring was a back catalogue of hits so huge that it was going to take a while to get through them all. Worry not though, as Bryan Adams took to the stage at 8pm and was ready to rock the socks off of the Geordie fandom.
CONTINUE READING  It has been a long journey for rising star Newcastle singer-songwriter Charlie Floyd. We first saw him playing with as part of the band Baltic way back in 2019, where they shared the billing with names like Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and The Vaccines on Newcastle's Town Moor. Now in 2025 he has made the leap from band member to solo artist, and with his brand new single 'Take it or Leave it' seeing its radio play debut on BBC Radio Newcastle, the future is looking very bright indeed for Charlie.
CONTINUE READING  Photo credit: David Weddle There are few bands that I can think of whose back catalogue contains as many solid gold rock anthems as British rock outfit The Darkness. Right from their debut album 'Permission to Land', it was clear that they were a force to be reckoned with, refreshing the genre of rock music with their own unique sound that was laced with humour and wit but was at its very core just awesome rock music.
CONTINUE READING  What an incredible weekend for Newcastle!!! Not only did The Magpies (Newcastle United) win the Carabao Cup, but the day prior saw The Pale White hit the stage at Northumbria Uni in a hometown show in the run-up to their new album, 'The Big Sad'.
CONTINUE READING  Having been around for the best part of thirty years, it is about time Missouri alt-metallers Shaman's Harvest popped across the Atlantic to the UK and Ireland. Luckily for us, that is precisely what they did, visiting Newcastle along the way with Texas rockers Blacktop Mojo coming along to keep the lads company on the "About Time" tour.
CONTINUE READING  After some forty-plus years in the music industry, Scottish singer and rock legend Fish has taken the decision to retire. Having rocked music fans originally as the frontman of neo-prog rock band Marillion, helping to shape the genre, and later stepping out on his own with his incredibly successful solo career, Fish has dedicated his life to his art and his fans.
