What's On in Newcastle
Monday 09 November 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Monday nights in Newcastle have no business being this good. From the iconic, smoky cool of trip-hop legends to intimate new music discoveries tucked inside beloved local venues, the city is alive with sound tonight — proof that the working week never has to get in the way of a genuinely great night out.
Highlights
Morcheeba | The Glasshouse International Centre for Music — Few acts carry the kind of effortless, slow-burning magnetism that Morcheeba have sustained across three decades, and tonight they bring that hazy, groove-laden world to the spectacular surrounds of The Glasshouse in Gateshead. Skye Edwards' voice alone is worth crossing the Tyne for — velvet-smooth and utterly transportive, wrapping around beats that sit somewhere between trip-hop, blues, and pure bliss. Doors are at 7:30pm, so grab a drink, settle in, and let the week melt away. Check website for tickets.
eastside present Barbican Estate | The Cluny — The Cluny is one of Newcastle's most cherished music rooms — intimate, unpretentious, and blessed with genuinely great acoustics — and tonight eastside bring Barbican Estate to its stage for what promises to be a quietly compelling evening. Whether you already know the name or you're walking in on a recommendation, this is exactly the kind of Monday night discovery that people talk about for weeks. Kicks off at 7:30pm — check the website for ticket details and more on what to expect.
f54 presents Gently Tender + 60juno | Cluny 2 — Downstairs in the snug, low-lit pocket of Cluny 2, f54 serves up a double bill that indie and alternative fans will want to mark in their diaries right now. Gently Tender and 60juno share a bill that feels both carefully curated and full of happy surprises — the kind of gig where you arrive not knowing quite what to expect and leave having found a new favourite. Starting at 7:30pm, this is grassroots live music at its most exciting. Check website for tickets.
