Francis of Delirium Bring Run, Run Pure Beauty to Cluny 2

Francis of Delirium Newcastle comes to Cluny 2 on Friday 18 September 2026, bringing the current Run, Run Pure Beauty era into one of Ouseburn’s smallest headline rooms. The Newcastle date starts at 7.30pm and sits near the beginning of a wider UK and Ireland run.

Francis of Delirium has always worked best when the music moves between intimacy and release. Jana Bahrich’s songwriting can begin in a restrained, conversational place before the guitars open out into something much bigger, and that contrast should suit Cluny 2 particularly well.

Francis of Delirium Newcastle arrives with a new album in hand

The Cluny 2 show arrives with new album Run, Run Pure Beauty already out, giving Francis of Delirium a fresh body of songs to place alongside the earlier material that built the project’s reputation. That makes this more than another pass through the same live set, because the current tour has a genuinely new record at its centre.

The Newcastle date also lands early enough in the run to feel like part of the launch phase rather than the end of a long campaign. Ticketing schedules place Cluny 2 after Nottingham and before dates in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin and Leeds, so the band reaches Tyneside while the tour is still gathering momentum.

Cluny 2 should be a good match for the new material. The room is close enough for quieter vocals and guitar detail to register clearly, but it can still carry the louder indie-rock side of the set when the songs expand. That balance is important for a project whose appeal comes from tension between vulnerability and noise rather than choosing one over the other.

The show also gives North East listeners a chance to catch Francis of Delirium in a much smaller space than many touring artists reach once a new album cycle is fully established. That closeness is part of what makes this September date stand out on a busy Cluny calendar.
