What's On in Newcastle

Club divas 2 — Head out to the wonderfully unpretentious Ryton Social Club from 6:30pm for an evening built around big voices, bigger personalities, and the kind of live music that fills a room with pure joy. Club Divas 2 promises a celebration of iconic female-fronted anthems and show-stopping performances that will have you on your feet before you have even finished your first drink. At £20, it is a proper night out for anyone who believes music should make you feel something.

The Avelons - Newcastle — Little Buildings is one of Newcastle's most beloved intimate venues, and on Saturday night it plays host to The Avelons for what promises to be a tight, energetic live set in a space where you are close enough to feel every note. Doors are at 7pm and tickets are just £8, making this one of the best-value ways to spend your evening in the city. If you love discovering a band in a room that still feels like a secret, this is the place to be.

DAZETORTED ~ Distorted & HappEdaze — Things take a properly underground turn at The Globe on Railway Street from 9pm, where DAZETORTED brings together the warped, bass-heavy worlds of Distorted and HappEdaze for a night of serious electronic music. This is the kind of event that rewards the curious and the committed — a sweaty, immersive club experience in a venue that knows exactly what it is doing. Tickets are £11–£15, and if psychedelic, distorted club sound is your thing, you would be mad to miss it.

Containment Presents: BMBERJCK — For those who consider midnight more of a starting point than a bedtime, Containment's night at World HQ is the place to be from 11pm onwards. BMBERJCK brings a reputation for relentless, expertly crafted DJ sets, and World HQ remains one of the north east's most credible club spaces for this kind of event. Entry is just £5–£12, which for a night that will almost certainly run until the early hours represents genuinely outstanding value.
