Punk on the Tyne – Gateshead

Punk on the Tyne is bringing a full day of punk, ska and alternative music to Gateshead – all while raising money for Parkinson’s UK. Held at The Black Bull, the charity festival combines live bands, proper old-school punk energy and a genuinely good cause, proving you can have a brilliant day out while supporting something meaningful.

Expect loud guitars, crowd sing-alongs, and the kind of atmosphere where everyone feels instantly welcome, whether you’ve been part of the punk scene for decades or just turned up for the music and a pint. It’s community-driven, a little rough around the edges and exactly the sort of independent event the North East does best.
