Jake Bugg brings the Alamo record-store tour to Newcastle
The Newcastle event starts at 5pm, with Bugg playing a short live set before meeting fans and signing copies of the new record. HMV says fans can secure guaranteed access by pre-ordering an album-and-entry bundle, subject to availability. Bundles include a wristband for entry, which fans collect alongside their album at the store on the day.
There may also be an opportunity to buy the album in-store and attend if capacity allows. However, HMV will confirm any additional availability through its social channels, so booking ahead is the safer option for anyone planning to go.
See our Newcastle event listing and book an album-and-entry bundle through HMV.
A new album and a return to his roots
Alamo is Bugg’s seventh studio album. He recorded the 11-track release with producers Jimmy Hogarth and Steve McEwan, bringing his songwriting back towards folk and country influences. The album follows a run of live shows that included a headline appearance at Musicians Corner in Nashville’s Centennial Park during Americana Fest.
Across the record-store run, fans will see different combinations of acoustic sets, question-and-answer sessions and signings. Newcastle’s HMV date is billed specifically as an acoustic performance and signing rather than a Q&A. The tour also visits Nottingham, Leeds, Carlisle, Edinburgh and Dundee, among other cities.
Jake Bugg returns to Gateshead in February 2027
