Get ready for a night where the North East’s indie-rock takes centre stage!
On the 11th April, The Newgate Social Presents two electrifying bands with styles as unique as they are unforgettable. Camel Island and Ryder are set to deliver a show that’ll have you singing, swaying, and shouting for more.
If high-energy anthems and raw, unfiltered passion are your vibe, this is your gig.
Camel Island
Step into the indie-rock tide with Camel Island, a trio who’ve mastered the art of balancing blistering energy and heartfelt intimacy. Inspired by legends like Supergrass, Blur, and The Police, their sound is a kaleidoscope of rapid-fire punk-infused riffs and melodies that stop you in your tracks.
Their live sets are an experience: one moment you’re swept into a fast-paced anthem with pounding drums and jagged guitar lines, the next you’re drawn into poignant, soul-baring lyrics that strike a chord. With their vibrant stage presence and knack for crafting infectious hooks, Camel Island is the perfect mix of nostalgia and modern indie edge.
Ryder
Ryder is raw, Ryder is real, and Ryder is here to rock your world. Armed with their debut album, Only The Brave, these lads bring an electrifying energy to the grassroots music scene. Their sound? Imagine roaring guitars, soaring melodies, and lyrics that cut deep — every track feels like a rallying cry for the restless.
Expect to hear the entire album played live, from fan-favorites like "Lone Soldier" and "Northern Lights" to the powerful new single "Broken Footsteps," which channels a deeper, darker energy. Ryder’s live shows are magnetic — their chemistry on stage and connection with the audience is pure magic.
Slate Label
Fresh off their biggest year yet, Slate Label are a five-piece alt-rock force rising straight out of South Shields. Merging the anthemic energy of Sam Fender with the raw intensity of Fontaines D.C. and Queens of the Stone Age, their sound is big, bold, and built for the stage.
After storming their way through 2024—winning Roulette Festival’s Battle of the Bands, playing alongside Red Rum Club and Miles Kane, and scoring a SPARK Radio nomination—these guys are proving they’re a band to watch. Their live set is a rollercoaster of blistering riffs, heartfelt ballads, and a stage presence that demands attention.
This isn’t just a gig; it’s a celebration of North East talent, passion, and the undeniable pull of indie rock.
Whether you’re here to discover something new or already a fan of the scene, the 11th of April is set to be unforgettable. Grab your mates, your pint, and let’s make a night of it.
