The Fargo Railroad Co. Return to Central Bar Gateshead

The Fargo Railroad Co. heads to Central Bar in Gateshead on Friday 23 October 2026, with doors at 7.30pm and the band due to start at 8pm.

The Sheffield four-piece arrive in Gateshead after supporting Hayseed Dixie earlier in 2026. Their sound pulls together Americana, country rock and blues-rock, making Central Bar’s compact live room a natural fit for a band built around guitars, rhythm and a lively club-show atmosphere.

Tickets are currently listed at £12.50 in advance, with the organiser advertising £15 on the door. The show is 18+ and support is still to be confirmed.

For SoundBite readers looking beyond the larger Newcastle and Gateshead halls, this is exactly the sort of grassroots date worth having on the radar. A smaller room changes the feel of a guitar show: there is less distance between band and audience, while the set has to work on energy and songs rather than production alone.

The booking also adds to a busy autumn for live music on the Gateshead side of the Tyne. Alongside the larger programme at The Glasshouse, venues including Central Bar, The Three Tuns and Station East are giving audiences a steady run of club and grassroots gigs.

That range matters. It means a night out doesn’t always have to revolve around a touring arena-scale production, and it gives bands space to play rooms where the audience is there specifically for live music.

SoundBite recommends checking the organiser’s page before travelling, particularly for any late changes to support, admission or timings. The event information above reflects the currently published listing.
