Newcastle is just the place to be if you are wanting to find break out bands. Catch the stars before they make it to the big stage. The style of these live music venues do a great job in adding to the experience, the rustic bar of The Holy Hobo in Jesmond and the ever-arty Hoochie Coochie bringing you the sounds of soul, funk and jazz.

 

You can’t top a drink which is supported by music, especially live music! Newcastle is just the place you’re looking for, this music-loving city has plenty of live music venues to choose from at just the right price. I’ll have a double drum and coke please.

 

We have decided to help you out and put together a carefully selected list of the best live music venues in Newcastle.

 

Live music venues are just the place to catch bands before they make it to the big stage.

It’s all about getting involved with music, maybe not getting on stage, but being close enough that you can feel the bass run through you.
