The Proclaimers Return to O2 City Hall Newcastle with Kirsten Adamson

The Proclaimers return to O2 City Hall Newcastle on Sunday 25 October 2026, with Kirsten Adamson confirmed as support. Doors open at 6.30pm, the concert is advertised for 7.30pm and the venue lists an 11pm curfew. Craig and Charlie Reid are back on the road as they prepare their thirteenth studio album, so the Newcastle date is part of a new phase for the Scottish duo rather than a standalone greatest-hits appearance.

The brothers have built a catalogue that crosses folk, pop, punk and new wave while keeping their own voices and songwriting at its centre. “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”, “Sunshine on Leith” and “Letter from America” are among the songs named in the official tour information. There is more to their live identity than any one of those singles, though: the mixture of direct storytelling and the brothers’ close vocal delivery gives their concerts a character that has carried across three decades.

Kirsten Adamson’s place on the bill adds another Scottish songwriting connection to the evening. She is the daughter of late Big Country singer Stuart Adamson and has developed her own work as a solo artist, drawing on country and folk traditions. Her opening set makes it worth arriving early rather than turning up just before the headliners. The venue has not published a separate onstage time for her, so the 6.30pm doors are the safest planning reference.

The Proclaimers’ wider tour includes an O2 Apollo Manchester date on 23 October and further Glasgow appearances in December. That schedule puts Newcastle within an established run of concerts rather than a one-off visit to the city. The new album provides an added point of interest for returning fans, although the title and full Newcastle setlist should be checked against later official updates rather than guessed ahead of the night.

Tickets and the latest information for 25 October 2026 are available from the official O2 City Hall Newcastle event page. Check any final changes to opening times, support and accessibility arrangements before travelling.
