The Lubber Fiend
The Lubber Fiend Newcastle is a DIY music and events space on Blandford Street that opened in 2022. The venue describes itself as a music space, bar, radio studio and workshop, with a varied programme that can move from gigs and club nights to screenings, markets and talks.
Its independent, community-led approach is central to the atmosphere. The Lubber Fiend Newcastle has a current capacity of around 140 and gives promoters a flexible room for artists and events that do not always fit the mainstream circuit.
That DIY identity makes it an important part of Newcastle’s current grassroots landscape. SoundBite’s guide keeps the visitor information together while future gig listings and previews will be attached automatically.
