Restraining Order Bring Hardcore Punk to Zerox Newcastle
Massachusetts hardcore band Restraining Order play Zerox Newcastle on Tuesday 1 December 2026, with the show advertised from 7pm.
Restraining Order at Zerox Newcastle brings the Massachusetts hardcore band to Sandhill on Tuesday 1 December 2026, with the show advertised from 7pm. The Newcastle date sits between UK stops in London and Glasgow, putting the city directly into the band’s latest run across this side of the Atlantic.
Restraining Order come from West Springfield, Massachusetts and work from the fast, stripped-back end of hardcore punk. Their songs tend to get in, make the point and move on, drawing on the urgency of older US hardcore while keeping enough rock and punk swing to stop the material becoming one-dimensional.
Restraining Order at Zerox Newcastle brings Future Fortune into a close room
The band released Future Fortune in September 2025, a 13-track album that pushes through its ideas at a rapid pace. Tracks such as “Know Not”, “Shame Game”, “Free Ride” and the title track keep the arrangements lean, while the record as a whole gives the current live set a substantial amount of newer material to work with alongside earlier releases.
Zerox feels well matched to this kind of show. Hardcore gains little from distance, and the Sandhill room keeps the stage and audience close enough for the physical side of the music to matter. For a band whose songs rely on momentum and sharp changes rather than elaborate production, that intimacy should work in their favour.
The event takes place on Tuesday 1 December, with the advertised time from 7pm and support still to be confirmed. Anyone planning to attend should check the band, promoter and ticketing channels before travelling in case support details, entry information or timings change.
Restraining Order have spent years refining a direct approach rather than chasing a crossover sound. That makes this Newcastle date a strong addition to Zerox’s heavier programme, particularly for anyone who prefers hardcore with a strong punk backbone and very little wasted motion.
With the band moving through the UK on consecutive dates, the Zerox stop should catch them fully in touring mode rather than treating Newcastle as a standalone fly-in show.
