'Bongo's Bingo on steroids': Utilita Arena to host Bongo's Bingo Disco Inferno XL night

It's Bongo's Bingo - but even bigger.

The award-winning bingo rave has made plenty of popular visits to Newcastle but now it's bringing its "epic" arena event to the city for the first time. Following their sold-out 'XL spectaculars' in Manchester, they're bringing two huge parties to the Utilita Arena.

Described as "Bongo’s Bingo amped up to the absolute max" the show will bring thousands to the arena for bingo, dance-offs, audience participation and its iconic range of prizes. The two dates are set to be "the biggest parties Bongo’s Bingo have ever created for Newcastle".

Partygoers are told to expect "a night full of madness, mischief and shared euphoria, with hits from across the ages all night long – imagine N Trance’s Set You Free filtered via S Club and Gerry Cinnamon, to renditions of Total Eclipse of the Heart".

There will be "loads of classic 70s, 80s and 90s tunes, crazy production and massive prizes". Fancy dress is "very much encouraged but not compulsory".

The Newcastle host Mickey Pickles said: “We are so stoked to be bringing XL to Newcastle this summer. It’s basically Bongo’s Bingo on steroids – everything from the production to the prizes to the stage to the amount of people coming to these two shows - it’s going to be insane.

"Disco Inferno is the theme so we are going to have wall-to-wall classics and sing-a-longs all night long. We really can’t wait for Friday 17 and Saturday 18 June.”

Tickets are on sale from tickets go on sale from Saturday March 26 at https://www.bongosbingo.co.uk/
