The Type 5 and Wilson at Little Buildings, Newcastle – 18 October 2026

The Type 5 bring their psychedelic power-trio sound to Little Buildings in Newcastle on Sunday 18 October 2026, with North East five-piece Wilson joining them for an afternoon show. The event runs from 2pm to 5pm, making this an earlier gig than the usual evening bill. Both acts bring their own approach to guitar-led music, with The Type 5 drawing on psychedelia and underground pop while Wilson move between folk, blues, jazz and Americana.

The Type 5 are a three-piece from Northern England whose members previously played in Les Crottes Flottants. Their music crosses psychedelic rock, kosmische-influenced folk and pop from the underground. Rather than sticking to one narrow sound, the band’s stated mix gives this show an interesting starting point for anyone drawn to the more exploratory side of rock. The smaller Little Buildings setting puts the two groups on the same bill without the long turnaround of a large multi-stage event.

Wilson, meanwhile, are a five-piece with roots in the North East. Their original songs take in life, love and misadventure around the Tyne, with a sound that brings folk storytelling together with blues and jazz. Americana is part of the mix too. That gives the afternoon a second, distinctly local perspective, as well as a contrast to The Type 5’s psychedelic leanings. Anyone planning to catch both performances should note the advertised 2pm start rather than assuming the gig begins in the evening.

The combination of a visiting northern trio and a North East group gives this date a clear sense of its own: one act looking towards psychedelic and underground sounds, the other drawing on songs and stories closer to home. The billing makes room for both rather than treating Wilson as an unrelated addition. It is an opportunity to catch two approaches to original music on a single afternoon in Newcastle.

Tickets are listed at £5 plus a £1 booking fee, making the advertised total £6. The organiser has not published separate performance times, so the 2pm–5pm window should be treated as the event time rather than a confirmed stage time for either act.
