Dateline Bring Their UK Tour to Central Bar Gateshead
Dateline play Central Bar Gateshead on 4 October 2026 as part of their UK tour, presented by Portions For Foxes.
Dateline at Central Bar Gateshead takes place on Sunday 4 October 2026, with the New Zealand indie-rock project bringing its UK tour to the intimate Half Moon Lane venue. The show is listed for 7pm and comes through independent North East promoter Portions For Foxes.
Dateline is the musical project led by songwriter Katie Everingham, with a sound that pulls together crunchy alternative guitars, indie-pop melody and the kind of four-part harmonies that give the songs a warmer edge than the distortion might suggest. The band’s own catalogue describes that balance as sitting somewhere between early-2000s indie pop and the cooler burn of 1990s UK guitar music.
Dateline at Central Bar Gateshead
The Gateshead show lands during a short run of UK dates in early October. Eventim lists the Central Bar performance for Sunday 4 October, while the band’s current material arrives with plenty of momentum behind it. Dateline released the album It’s All Downhill From Here in 2024, followed by the single Meltdown in May 2026 and the Live in Madrid release in July.
That recent run gives the Gateshead audience a broader set of material to draw from than an introductory tour. The older songs lean heavily on Everingham’s knack for direct, slightly bruised storytelling, while newer work keeps the melodic side of the band intact even when the guitars get heavier.
Central Bar should suit that approach. The upstairs live room is compact, so there is very little distance between band and audience, and it has become a regular stop for independent touring acts that make more sense in a packed club than a larger production-led venue.
Official ticketing currently lists the show for 7pm on 4 October. Tickets and the latest event details are available from Eventim UK. More music and current releases can be found through Dateline’s official Bandcamp.
An independent touring date for Gateshead
The event is presented by Portions For Foxes, a long-running independent North East promoter with a track record of bringing emerging alternative acts to smaller rooms around the region. That makes this a useful addition to Gateshead’s autumn calendar, particularly for anyone looking beyond the larger arena and theatre dates.
