Giroscope Bring Classic Rock to The Forum Darlington

Giroscope at The Forum Darlington lands on Friday 25 September 2026 as part of Gasto Promotions’ run of live shows at the Borough Road venue. The night is built around classic rock songs, with the band taking on material associated with 10cc, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and more.

That makes this one a broad rock night rather than a tribute to a single artist. Instead of staying inside one catalogue, Giroscope can move between different decades and styles, which should give the set more room to change pace across the evening. For people who like the familiar end of classic rock but do not necessarily want a note-for-note tribute show, the format has an obvious appeal.

Giroscope at The Forum Darlington

The Forum has doors opening at 7.30pm and expects the show to begin at around 8.30pm. Advance tickets are £12. It is a standing event with a 16+ restriction, and anyone under 18 must attend with an adult.

There is also something that suits The Forum about a set covering that much ground. The venue is small enough for the performance to stay close to the crowd, while songs by Bowie, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple are made for a room where people can actually hear the detail as well as the bigger guitar moments. The song choices advertised by the venue suggest a night aimed at established rock fans rather than a themed nostalgia package.

Gasto Promotions has a number of shows moving through The Forum over the coming months, and Giroscope sits neatly in that run before the autumn calendar heads into progressive rock, tribute nights and more North East bills.

The gig takes place at The Forum Music Centre, Darlington. Tickets and current event information are available through The Forum’s official event page.
