Festivals near Newcastle

In Newcastle upon Tyne, the music starts at the water's edge: each summer the ruins of Tynemouth Priory host the Mouth of the Tyne Festival, whose orchestral Ministry of Sound Classical nights set club beats against strings above the estuary. The city carries a stubborn indie lineage, from The Animals to Maxïmo Park, and a pop scene rooted in its Quayside pubs and riverside venues.

The North East wears its local pride loudly too: Tyneside's own Joe McElderry brings the celebration back home with his Festive Party, while house and techno heads converge on the Lost Minds Festival. To make sense of this shifting calendar, FestT computes the FestiScore, the affinity between a lineup and your favourite artists, and keeps dates and ticketing up to date.
