South Shields’ seafront amphitheatre has seen some great shows over the years and more are on the way.
Brass band performances are returning to South Shields’ Seafront Amphitheatre as part of the This is South Tyneside Festival 2026, as reported in the Shields Gazette.
The venue has seen many wonderful open air shows over the years and we have a selection of them from the Shields Gazette archives, from 2012 to 2023.
They show the Tommy the Trumpeter parties, Arbuthnot, the Rapide Brothers and the Fun Fest. Get ready for curtain up on some wonderful Soyth Tyneside memories.
And to find out which brass bands are coming to the borough this summer, visit here.
