The Dead Religion Head to Station East in Gateshead

The Dead Religion at Station East brings the Carlisle four-piece back to Gateshead on Friday 18 December 2026 for a pre-Christmas show beneath the railway arches.

The band sit in an interesting space between Americana, country, rock and blues. Their own description puts three-part harmonies at the centre of the sound, with songs shaped by open-road country influences but rooted firmly in northern England. That should make Station East a particularly natural setting: intimate enough for the vocal blend and songwriting to stay at the front of the room.

The Dead Religion at Station East in Gateshead

Songkick currently lists The Dead Religion as Station East’s upcoming concert for 18 December. The Gateshead venue, based in the railway arches on Hills Street, has hosted a growing run of grassroots shows, and this date gives the December calendar another original-music option away from the larger venues.

There’s already a useful snapshot of where the band are musically. Their 2025 live session Music from Big White includes five original tracks, while Guitar Pickin’ Man followed as a release in May 2026. The live-session line-up credits Benjamin Singh on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Zack McDade on lead guitar, Andy Harper on bass and backing vocals, and Chris Brown on drums and backing vocals.

That three-part vocal element is one of the details that separates The Dead Religion from a straightforward bar-band take on Americana. The arrangements lean into melody and harmony as much as guitar, while the country and blues influence gives the material a weathered edge rather than a polished Nashville feel.

SoundBite’s verified event record doesn’t currently carry a confirmed stage time or age restriction, so we’re not going to guess either. Check Station East and the band’s channels before travelling for final timings and admission details.
