Cast Newcastle comes to Newcastle University on Thursday 22 October 2026 as the Liverpool band bring their Yeah Yeah Yeah Tour to the city.

The Newcastle date sits within a short run that also includes Leeds, Edinburgh, Manchester, London and Liverpool. The show starts at 7pm at Newcastle University, putting the band back into the kind of compact live room that suits their catalogue.

Cast Newcastle at Newcastle University

Formed in Liverpool in the early 1990s, Cast became one of the most recognisable guitar bands of the Britpop era, with John Power leading a run of albums and singles that still form the backbone of the live set. Songs such as “Fine Time”, “Alright” and “Walkaway” helped establish the band’s melodic, direct approach, and those tracks continue to connect strongly with audiences decades later.

The Newcastle University show should work well for that catalogue. It keeps the band in a proper live-room setting rather than an arena, which suits the punchier side of Cast’s sound and should make the choruses feel particularly immediate when the crowd joins in.

The current line-up retains the core identity that has carried Cast through their reunion years, while the Yeah Yeah Yeah Tour gives the band another chance to revisit the material that built their reputation alongside later songs. For long-time fans, the appeal is straightforward: a focused headline set in a room that should feel close enough to the stage for the energy to carry.

Pastel join the Newcastle date

Pastel join Cast for the Newcastle show, giving the night a full guitar-band bill rather than a standalone headline appearance. Support arrives before Cast take over for the main set.

The show is listed for 7pm. Ticket information and timings can change, so check Newcastle University, Cast or the official ticketing channels before travelling.
