To quote Frank Gallagher from Shameless when it comes to Bongo's Bingo 'they know how to throw a party,' and they lived up to that reputation with gusto as they took over the Utilita Arena for their biggest shows to date in Newcastle.
Bongo's, the zany mashup of bingo and rave, has been coming to the city for five years now, regularly packing out Boiler Shop, as well as branching out for outdoor events at Paddy Fest and at the pioneering social distanced Unity Arena in Gosforth in summer 2020.
And on Friday and Saturday night they turned the arena into one massive rave as the kitchen sink of everything that makes Bongo's so brilliant was thrown at making the double header of XL shows. Those with tickets were promised 'Bongo's Bingo on steroids,' and from start to finish that's what they got.
