Matthew Freeman live in Gateshead

Experience Matthew Freeman live on November 4th

Matthew Freeman will be performing at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead, United Kingdom on November 4th, 2026. Freeman is a guitarist and composer known for his work blending instrumental rock, progressive elements, and jazz fusion. His compositions frequently feature complex arrangements, intricate guitar work, and atmospheric soundscapes, often drawing comparisons to artists like Allan Holdsworth and John Scofield. He has released several albums as a solo artist and collaborated with various musicians across multiple genres.

The Glasshouse, which opened in November 2023, represents a significant investment in music performance infrastructure for the North East of England. It is a combined venue created through the renovation of the existing Sage Gateshead buildings and the construction of a new concert hall. The venue houses two primary performance spaces: Sage Concert Hall (approximately 1,950 capacity) and Newcastle Building Societies Hall (approximately 1,200 capacity), alongside smaller spaces for more intimate performances and education. The project aims to increase both audience capacity and the diversity of musical offerings available in the region. It serves as both a performance space and a centre for music education and community engagement initiatives.
