What's On in Newcastle
Sunday 14 June 2026
Newcastle is shaking off its Sunday slowdown this 14 June with a pair of events that prove the weekend still has plenty of life left in it. From honky-tonk revelry to raw, roots-soaked live music, the city is serving up something with real character today — so dust off your boots or head straight to the nearest bar stool, because there is no reason to stay home.
Highlights
Hoedown Sundays | Cowgirls And Country — Saddle up for what promises to be one of the most spirited Sunday afternoon parties in the city right now — Cowgirls And Country is throwing open its doors at 2:00pm for a full-on hoedown experience that leans hard into country swagger, line-dancing energy, and good-time vibes. At £40 this is a proper occasion rather than a casual drop-in, but for a Sunday that genuinely feels like an event, it is worth every penny. Think sequins, Stetsons, and the kind of crowd that is absolutely committed to having the time of their lives.
The Roughneck Cavaliers - Live @ Billy's — For something altogether more rough-edged and wonderfully unpretentious, head down to Billy Bootleggers from 2:00pm to catch The Roughneck Cavaliers tear through a live set in one of Newcastle's most characterful little venues. Entry costs between £0 and £2, making this the city's most generous bargain of the day — the kind of gig where you wander in not quite knowing what to expect and walk out a fully converted fan. Raw, live, and brilliantly low-key.
