Slade UK Bring Glam Rock Classics to The Forum Darlington

Slade UK at The Forum Darlington is set for Saturday 14 November 2026, with the tribute act bringing the sound, look and energy of Slade to Borough Road. The show focuses on the original band’s biggest glam-rock anthems, including Cum On Feel the Noize, Coz I Luv You, Take Me Bak ‘Ome and Gudbuy T’Jane.

Slade’s catalogue was built for loud, communal live shows, and that is exactly what this tribute is aiming to recreate. The Forum describes Slade UK as an act that goes beyond simply covering the songs, leaning into the visual style and stage energy associated with Noddy Holder, Jim Lea, Don Powell and Dave Hill during the band’s peak years.

Doors open at 7.30pm, with the show expected to begin at around 8.30pm. Tickets are £15 and the event is listed as unreserved seated. It is 16+, with under-18s required to attend with an adult. That seated setup should make this a slightly different atmosphere from the standing tribute dates around it, but the songs themselves are still likely to turn the room into a singalong once the set gets moving.

For fans of seventies glam, Slade UK offer a direct route back into one of the era’s most distinctive catalogues without trying to modernise it beyond recognition. The original band’s mix of heavy guitar riffs, handclaps, hooks and huge choruses has kept those songs alive for decades, and a compact venue like The Forum should give them plenty of impact.

The show takes place at The Forum Music Centre in Darlington. Tickets and current event information are available from the official Forum event page.
