Andrew Cushin announces fifth O2 City Hall Newcastle show

The tour will end with a performance at O2 City Hall Newcastle on Thursday, December 10, and will mark Cushin’s fifth headline show at the venue.

This makes him the first North East male solo artist to perform at the venue five times – a record achieved in just three years.

In a statement, the artist said: “I’m incredibly proud of ‘Goodbye.’

“It’s one of those songs that changed a lot from the original idea through to the finished version and I think that’s what makes it exciting.

“It feels big, direct, and honest—and I can’t wait for people to hear it properly and experience it live.”

Mr Cushin, who has drawn support from Noel Gallagher, Pete Doherty, Sam Fender, and Louis Tomlinson, has quickly become one of the UK’s most talked-about young artists.

His rapid rise began with his debut album Waiting For The Rain, which spent three weeks at Number One on the Official Independent Album Breakers Chart.

His recent album Love Is For Everyone earned him his first UK Top 40 placement.

The new single “Goodbye,” released by First Run Records, continues his evolution toward a bigger, more expansive sound—featuring sharp songwriting, driving guitars, and powerful choruses.

The track was written and recorded across sessions in Newcastle, The Bahamas, and Wigan.

Alongside his headline shows, Mr Cushin has toured globally, supporting artists such as Louis Tomlinson, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Robbie Williams, Pete Doherty, and Starsailor.

He has played at iconic venues including The Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Greek Theatre, and Forest Hills Stadium.

Despite his growing success, Mr Cushin said Newcastle remains at the heart of his journey.

He said: “Every time I come home and play Newcastle it means something completely different.

“City Hall has become a huge part of my journey and I don’t take that for granted.

“To be coming back for a fifth headline show after everything that’s happened over the last few years feels really special.

“Newcastle backed me early and I always feel that when I step out on stage there.”

Mr Cushin is scheduled to perform alongside OMD and The Undertones at major outdoor shows across the UK this summer.

In 2023, he became the youngest Geordie artist to sell out Newcastle City Hall and later headlined the Mouth of the Tyne Festival.
