Dave Hill’s Slade Bring Glam-Rock Hits to Newcastle in December

Dave Hill’s Slade head to O2 City Hall Newcastle on Wednesday 2 December 2026, bringing one of Britain’s enduring glam-rock catalogues back to the city. Doors are advertised for 7pm, with the evening focused on the loud guitars, enormous choruses and playful stage presence that made Slade a fixture of British pop and rock. With the date falling in early December, it also sits firmly in the season when the group’s music is especially familiar.

The current Slade line-up is led by guitarist Dave Hill, whose name appears in the official Event listing. The concert is being billed under his version of the band rather than as a performance by the full original 1970s line-up. That distinction matters when buying tickets: the attraction is Hill playing music from the catalogue he helped create. The venue refers to a run of 23 Top 20 singles, a reminder of how much material the band can draw on across a headline concert.

Far Far Away, Cum On Feel the Noize and Coz I Luv You are among the songs named in the venue’s current description. They show different sides of Slade’s songwriting, from a big singalong chorus to more reflective melodic moments. The band’s chart career has stretched across six decades, and the Newcastle date gives listeners the chance to hear those recordings reworked for a present-day stage rather than played back from the original singles.

Slade’s live identity has always mixed a strong rhythmic drive with deliberate flamboyance, so O2 City Hall is a chance to hear the material with the guitars and vocals up front. The official booking does not promise a complete album performance or publish the full setlist, and no separate support act or exact onstage time is specified in the information checked. The confirmed doors time is 7pm; arrive in good time and check for further announcements before travelling.

For tickets, access information and final stage timings, use the official O2 City Hall event listing. The date is Wednesday 2 December 2026, and the booking is for Dave Hill’s Slade rather than a different band using a similar tribute name.
