Slap Rash, Onlooker, Fast Blood and Vibrator Play Macmillan Fundraiser in Newcastle

Four bands come together at The Lubber Fiend in Newcastle on Sunday 1 November 2026 for a noisy fundraiser supporting the Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre. Slap Rash, Onlooker, Fast Blood and Vibrator are the named acts on the bill, with House Proud Events presenting the evening under the name In Good Company. The official event window runs from 6pm to 11pm, making it a substantial Sunday night programme rather than a short appearance by one headliner.

The bill brings musicians from several places into one Newcastle room. Slap Rash are travelling from Manchester, while Onlooker come from Teesside and Fast Blood are a Newcastle band. Vibrator complete the line-up from Aberdeen. Those different connections make the evening a cross-regional gathering, with two acts arriving from outside the North East and two representing the wider local circuit. The organiser has named all four groups but has not published a confirmed running order or individual stage times.

Fast Blood’s Newcastle connection gives local gig-goers an immediate point of reference, while Onlooker’s Teesside roots widen the North East presence on the bill. The event is described as a noisy punk night, so audiences can expect an emphasis on live bands rather than a DJ-led party. It would be premature to promise a particular song or any unannounced special guests: the confirmed details are the four bands, the charity being supported and the November date at The Lubber Fiend.

The fundraiser supports the Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre, which provides treatment and support for people affected by cancer. That cause is central to the booking, not an incidental collection at an unrelated show. The official ticket page describes the evening as a fundraising event, although it does not specify exactly what share of every ticket will go to the centre. Attendees who want to know the donation arrangements can check with the organiser directly.

Tickets are advertised at £5 plus a £1 booking fee, and the event is marked 18+. The official listing gives 6pm–11pm for the full evening rather than a specific onstage time for each band. Check the primary ticket page and House Proud’s announcements for the final running order and any change to entry arrangements before setting off.
