Kristin Hersh Newcastle | Cluny 2 Gig Preview
Kristin Hersh plays Cluny 2 Newcastle on 6 October 2026. Preview the second Newcastle night of her UK and Ireland tour.
Kristin Hersh returns to Newcastle for the second of two consecutive nights at Cluny 2 on Tuesday 6 October 2026. The Throwing Muses founder brings her solo catalogue to Ouseburn as part of her current UK and Ireland tour, with both her official tour page and Ticketmaster confirming the additional Newcastle date.

Her solo work has always sat alongside the broader legacy of Throwing Muses and 50 Foot Wave, but these performances bring the songwriting into sharper focus. The songs can move between stark acoustic passages, fractured melodies and more abrasive moments, so Cluny 2 should suit those contrasts especially well.

The timing gives the show added context because Hersh’s new solo album Sugar on Blackstone arrives shortly before the Newcastle dates. As a result, the set comes during an active new chapter rather than as a retrospective-only tour, with newer material able to sit naturally alongside songs from her extensive catalogue.
Cluny 2 feels like a strong fit for that kind of performance because it gives the music space without creating distance between artist and audience. For long-time listeners, the second-night booking offers another chance to hear how the set evolves across consecutive shows, while anyone new to Hersh’s solo work gets a focused introduction in a room built for close listening.
Importantly, the official 2026 tour artwork lists Newcastle on both 5 and 6 October. The second night is therefore a separate confirmed date rather than a duplicate listing, sitting between the Edinburgh and Belfast stops on the wider tour.
