BBC Introducing From The Glasshouse | October Preview
Tom A. Smith, Ellur and Robyn Banks play BBC Introducing From The Glasshouse in Gateshead on 19 October 2026.
BBC Introducing From The Glasshouse returns to Gateshead on Monday 19 October 2026 with Tom A. Smith, Ellur and Robyn Banks sharing the Sage Two stage. The pay-what-you-decide night puts three emerging northern artists together in a format designed around discovery, giving audiences the chance to catch developing acts before they move onto larger rooms.
The strongest local connection comes through Tom A. Smith, whose profile has continued to grow from Sunderland through a run of releases and live appearances. Putting him alongside Ellur and Robyn Banks gives the bill a wider northern feel without losing the focus on artists still building momentum.

The monthly format has become one of the venue’s more useful platforms for new music because it keeps the ticket barrier low and gives each act a proper stage rather than treating the night like an informal showcase. Sage Two also gives the performances enough scale to feel significant while keeping the room close to the artists.
The Glasshouse lists the event for 8pm, with tickets available on a pay-what-you-decide basis. That makes this one of the most accessible October music dates at the venue.
