Trillians Rock Bar runs an Acoustic Open Mic Night every Wednesday in its cellar bar tucked away in Princess Square, opposite Newcastle's main library. It's the city's home of rock, metal, punk and everything heavy — so this is a refreshingly stripped-back, acoustic counterpoint in a properly characterful underground room. To book a slot, contact the bar (trillians@gmx.com / 07710 095238). A great, unpretentious spot to try out new material.

The Artist — Open Mic at Trillians
Open Mic at Trillians headlines this Newcastle gig on Wednesday, 9 December 2026. Listening before the night helps you decide if the bill matches your taste.
Trillians Rock Bar is one of Newcastle's grass-roots venues on GigXchange — the kind of small-capacity room where you can stand close to the band and the bill changes every week. Capacity, age policy and door fee vary per night, so always cross-check with the gig details panel or the venue's own page closer to the date.
Grass-roots gigs in Newcastle are intimate by design: most rooms cap below 200, the band is on stage close to the floor, and the support acts often deserve as much attention as the headliner. Arrive within thirty minutes of doors to catch the openers and pick a sightline you're happy with.
Entry hasn't been published — bring £5–£15 cash to be safe, or check the venue's social channels for advance ticketing.
