The Fell Bring Their First UK Headline Tour to Newcastle

The Fell Newcastle arrives at The Grove on Tuesday 8 December 2026 as the modern rock group brings its first UK headline tour together to Byker. Doors open at 7pm, with the Newcastle date following shows in Bristol, Southampton, Manchester, London and Norwich.

The lineup gives this tour an unusual amount of experience for a relatively new band. Toby Rand handles vocals, Billy Sheehan is on bass, Mike Krompass brings guitar and production experience, while Nick Chiarore completes the group on drums. Between them, their previous credits reach across Mr. Big, David Lee Roth, The Winery Dogs, Smash Mouth, Steve Vai and Slash, but The Fell is being presented as its own modern rock project rather than a vehicle for old catalogues.

The Fell Newcastle arrives on the band’s first UK headline run

The Grove date is part of The Fell’s first UK headline tour together, a 10-date run combining eight headline shows with two festival appearances. That gives the Newcastle booking a clear place in the band’s development. This is not a one-off appearance built around the reputations of its members; it is part of the first sustained UK run for the group itself.

The Fell’s recent material includes the Killswitch EP and tracks such as Footprints, with the band describing its direction around heavy guitars, large melodic hooks, modern production and a sound that deliberately differs from the members’ previous projects. That contrast should be one of the most interesting parts of the show for anyone arriving because of Sheehan, Rand or Krompass individually.

The Grove also gives the band a compact room in which to establish that identity. A close standing floor puts the focus on how the four musicians work as a unit rather than turning the night into a distant showcase of individual credentials. By 8 December, the set will already have moved through several UK cities, so the Newcastle audience should be hearing a show that has had time to settle on the road.

The tour continues after Newcastle, giving the date a central place in the run rather than making it an isolated regional stop. For rock listeners, it is a chance to catch a veteran-heavy lineup while the band itself is still in an early live chapter.

The Fell play The Grove, Newcastle on Tuesday 8 December 2026, with doors at 7pm. Tickets are available through the official venue ticketing page.
