Getdown Services Bring Crisps-Fuelled Live Show to Boiler Shop

Getdown Services Boiler Shop Newcastle brings Bristol duo Josh Law and Ben Sadler to the city on Wednesday 25 November 2026, with Shelf Lives joining them for a 7pm start. The show arrives after several years of relentless touring built around debut album Crisps, which has helped turn the pair into one of the most talked-about live acts on the UK alternative circuit.

Getdown Services Boiler Shop Newcastle arrives with real momentum

The Newcastle date follows years of word-of-mouth touring for Getdown Services, whose live reputation has grown steadily since the release of debut album Crisps in 2023.

That momentum matters because the duo’s appeal is rooted as much in performance as in the records themselves. Their songs move between indie, funk, spoken-word humour and scrappy electronic ideas, but the live show is where those elements are pushed together with the kind of looseness that is difficult to reproduce on a recording.

Boiler Shop should give them room to scale that energy without losing the awkward, close-up character that has helped the band build a following. It is a bigger Newcastle room than the sort of grassroots spaces where word-of-mouth acts usually start, and that makes this date a useful marker of how quickly the audience around the duo has grown.

Shelf Lives provide support, adding another act with a similarly restless approach to genre and performance. The pairing should make the full bill feel coherent without simply duplicating the same sound twice.

Getdown Services play Boiler Shop Newcastle on Wednesday 25 November 2026. Doors are at 7pm and the show is 14+, with under-16s required to attend with an adult. The event is sold out at the time of writing.

The interesting part of this date is the step up in scale. A band that has built its reputation through constant touring and audience reaction is now taking that same live identity into a larger room, which should make Boiler Shop a useful test of how far that momentum has travelled.
