What’s on
The Central is one of the district’s main small gig venues. Upcoming concerts and ticket links are kept on the pub’s Linktree, with tickets through SeeTickets and WeGotTickets; the autumn 2026 list ran to a gig most weeks and the two-night Night Tyne Festival in November. There is a quiz every Thursday. The next few gigs below are read automatically each day from the Linktree, which gives dates but not start times; the ticket links have the times.
Coming up

- Thu 12 Nov Malcolm Middleton
- Fri 13 Nov Night Tyne Festival
- Sat 14 Nov Night Tyne Festival
- Sat 21 Nov XSLF
