There’s still plenty of music heading to the North East of England before the end of 2024, despite the festival season coming to a close.
As the nights draw darker earlier and Autumn feels close by, those in Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Darlington and surrounding areas still have a decent amount of entertainment to contend with before the always frantic Christmas rush takes place in December.
From hallowed names such as Robert Plant and Steve Hackett to soon-to-be household names like Nia Archives or Twin Atlantic, we’ve rounded up 19 of our picks for shows taking place around the area - tickets for all of which can be bought through Ticketmaster or TicketWeb.
