What's On in Newcastle
Wednesday 24 June 2026
Wednesday might not shout loudest in the weekly calendar, but Newcastle and its neighbours are quietly cooking up a brilliant mid-week mix. From the electric crackle of a big top to the intimate warmth of one of the city's most beloved music venues, there is genuine excitement to be found tonight — you just have to show up.
Highlights
Planet Circus OMG presents - Daredevils Stunts OMG! Gateshead — Under the glow of the OMG Big Top in Gateshead, Planet Circus is pulling out all the stops with an evening of jaw-dropping daredevil stunts that will have the whole family gripping their seats. This is old-school spectacle done brilliantly — the kind of live thrill that no screen can replicate, with performers pushing the boundaries of what the human body can actually do. Doors open at 5:00pm, tickets run from £10 to £19, making it a genuinely affordable night out that earns every penny of the price.
JB and the Cardineau Sin — The Cluny is one of Newcastle's true musical treasures — a room with just the right amount of intimacy and just the right amount of soul — and tonight it plays host to JB and the Cardineau Sin at 7:30pm. Whether you know them already or are walking in cold, there is something deeply satisfying about discovering a live act in a venue this good, where the sound wraps around you and the bar is only steps away. Check the website for ticket prices and get there early to claim a good spot.
