What's On in Newcastle
Tuesday 03 November 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Newcastle has a quietly electric Tuesday in store, with the city offering two very different but equally compelling reasons to step out into the November evening. From the heart-expanding world of music therapy to a rising pop star ready to fill a beloved venue with her singular sound, there is genuine warmth and discovery to be found tonight.
Highlights

Nordoff Robbins is one of the most respected names in the field, and this evening promises a thoughtful, accessible look at how their approach transforms lives — whether you are a curious local, a healthcare professional, or someone considering a new path entirely. Doors open at 6:00pm, so you can be home at a reasonable hour having genuinely learned something extraordinary. Check website for ticket details.
Mae Stephens — Mae Stephens has been quietly building a devoted following with her breezy, emotionally honest pop, and catching her at The Cluny — one of Newcastle's most characterful live music rooms — feels like being in on something special before it gets very big indeed. The intimate setting means you will be close enough to feel every note, and the venue's warm, unpretentious atmosphere is the perfect frame for her effortless stage presence.
