The streets surrounding Newcastle might have been heavily beaten by footfall from the day's iconic Blaydon Race on Thursday, but it was in a huge circus tent where history was made.
The inaugural Rock N Roll Circus came to town and planted itself onto the vast fields of the city's Town Moor for a concert experience like no other which left fans wanting more.
Bringing circus and the best of music together all under one roof - or tent as it were - was, to put it simply, a masterstroke.
