On the 14 January, we launch the next chapter of our secret live showcases under its new name; LLIVELY Showcases. Building on three years of carefully curated, intimate performances, we continue our commitment to creating meaningful live music experiences in unexpected places.
Kicking off 2026, these showcases will be celebrating the region’s rich and diverse creative industry. Alongside outstanding performers, we’ll spotlight the people, organisations and spaces that make our local scene as wonderful as it is.
Supported by a passionate team of professionals, LLIVELY Showcases will bring incredible international artists into unusual settings, from bars and cafés to clinics and studios, highlighting the North East’s brilliant independent businesses. Come as you are; connect, create, and celebrate community through music and art.
