Manchester rock group Pale Waves are set to kick off their UK tour in Newcastle as they look to make up to Geordie fans after cancelling their summer show in the city.
The band had been due to perform at Central Park in Times Square on Wednesday, August 17 but ended up having to cancel their gig. Now Pale Waves have confirmed they will be performing at the Newcastle venue on November 24 as they start off their UK tour.
The announcement will come as welcome news to fans who were left disappointed when the 'Television Romance’ singers were unable to commit to the original date during a packed summer of UK festival appearances including Boardmasters and Kendal Calling.
All tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled Newcastle show and refunds will be available to those who are unable to attend the new date.
Central Park bosses said they were delighted the band was able to reschedule their gig and perform at the venue this winter.
“After a massively successful run of shows at Central Park this summer, we’re thrilled to announce that Pale Waves will be kickstarting their November tour in Newcastle at Times Square," a Central Park spokesman said.
"We’re sure it is going to put the venue on the map as the place to go for the best indie and emerging music in the North East.”
Pale Waves were formed in 2014 by Manchester University pals, singer Heather Baron-Gracie and drummer Ciara Doran, who were later joined by guitarist Hugo Silvani and bassist Charlie Wood. After signing a record deal with Dirty Hit in 2017, the band released its debut single, ‘There’s a Honey’ in 2017, along with two albums, ‘My Mind Makes Noises’, and ‘Who Am I?’
The band’s third album, ‘Unwanted', was released in August and aims to reach out to the band's LGBTQI fans.
“It was really the only thing this album could be called,” says frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie.
"It’s bold and unapologetic, and that’s what the Pale Waves community is about. We don’t need to fit a perfect mould, we don’t need to apologise for being ourselves, and we won’t change for anyone.
"That acceptance is what connects us.”
