Zeta Point

Zeta Point and County Durham electronic music

Zeta Point are an experimental electronic power-pop act from County Durham, formed in 2024 by Jacob Elliott. The project pulls together darkwave, dreampop and trip-hop, giving the music a darker electronic edge while still keeping melody at the centre. It is a combination that sits comfortably between alternative pop and more atmospheric electronic music rather than staying inside one genre.

That mix also gives Zeta Point a distinct place within the wider North East scene. The region’s independent circuit covers everything from guitar bands to club-focused electronic artists, and Zeta Point sit somewhere in the middle. Their music brings pop structure into a sound shaped by layered production, mood and rhythm, which makes them a useful contrast on mixed local bills.

Zeta Point live in the North East

One of the project’s confirmed 2026 appearances is part of The Forum Music Centre’s Live and Local series in Darlington. The October bill pairs Zeta Point with Darlington alternative rock band Suspirium and fellow North East act Pretentious. The event is designed specifically to showcase artists from across the region, giving newer acts a chance to play the Forum’s main stage in front of an audience looking for local music.

For Zeta Point, that setting should suit the project well. The bill moves from alternative rock into electronic power-pop and back again, giving the act space to stand out without needing to fit a conventional genre night. It also puts a County Durham project into one of Darlington’s key grassroots rooms.

SoundBite North East includes Zeta Point because of that clear County Durham connection and the project’s developing presence on the regional live circuit. As more releases and shows are announced, this profile will continue to build around verified information from the artist and official venue sources.
