We’re hosting five weeks of live music battles as local acts go head‑to‑head in the Battle of the Bands.
Every Thursday from 2 April to 1 May, we’ll welcome up to four bands each night for 20–25 minute sets, all competing for a spot in the final where the winner will be invited to play the final matchday of the season inside the Barracks hospitality suite within St. James' Park.
What to expect:
Doors from 6pm
Intermission games and prize giveaways
A buzzing Thursday‑night atmosphere in Shearers
