the north live in Newcastle upon Tyne

Experience the north live on November 26th

The musical project known as the north will be performing at Think Tank? in Newcastle upon Tyne on November 26, 2026. The north creates ambient and experimental electronic music, often characterized by heavily textured soundscapes, field recordings, and a focus on atmosphere over traditional song structures. Their work frequently incorporates elements of drone and minimalist composition, exploring themes of place, memory, and the natural world. Releases are typically distributed via independent labels specializing in experimental electronic music.

Think Tank? is a long-running independent venue located on Sandhill in Newcastle upon Tyne. Established in 1997, it initially functioned as a dedicated drum & bass club space before evolving to encompass a broader range of underground music genres including techno, house, and experimental electronic acts. The venue is known for its intimate setting and commitment to showcasing emerging artists alongside established names within the alternative music scene. It operates within a converted basement space historically used for industrial purposes, retaining some of that original architectural character. Think Tank? has consistently played a role in supporting Newcastle’s nightlife and independent arts culture.
