Gentleman’s Dub Club Mark 20 Years at Wylam Brewery
Gentleman's Dub Club play Wylam Brewery Newcastle on 5 November 2026 as the Leeds-formed dub band marks two decades together.
Gentleman’s Dub Club Newcastle comes to Wylam Brewery on Thursday 5 November 2026, bringing a band whose rise from a Leeds basement has turned into two decades of touring, festival appearances and bass-heavy live shows. Doors open at 7pm for the 18+ standing show, with special guests also due to appear.
Gentleman’s Dub Club Newcastle marks two decades together
The timing gives the Wylam date more weight than another stop on the road. The Newcastle date lands in the band’s 20th year, two decades after Gentleman’s Dub Club formed in Leeds in 2006. What began as an eight-piece rehearsing in Headingley has grown into one of the most established names in the UK dub and reggae circuit.
That history matters because the group has never treated roots reggae and contemporary bass music as separate worlds. Their live approach has developed around horns, rhythm, vocals and heavy low end, giving the songs a physical quality that has carried them from smaller club rooms to festivals and international tours.
Wylam Brewery should suit that balance well. The Palace of Arts has enough space for the sound to breathe, while its standing layout keeps the show closer to the atmosphere of a club night than a seated concert. For a band whose reputation has been built through audience movement as much as studio records, that feels like the right environment.
The anniversary also offers a useful point to look at how far UK dub has travelled since the group first came together. Gentleman’s Dub Club arrived during a period when dubstep, reggae and live brass were increasingly crossing paths, and they have remained part of that conversation while continuing to tour rather than becoming tied to one era.
Gentleman’s Dub Club play Wylam Brewery in Newcastle on Thursday 5 November 2026. Doors open at 7pm and the event is 18+. Special guests are still to be confirmed.
