A Stone’s Throw Festival returns on Sunday May 25th with its biggest lineup to date, including one of the most electric live outfits the UK has to offer with post-punk headliners, Shame.
Taking place in Newcastle‘s coastal North Shields area, Shame will be joined by Katy J Pearson, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, indie favourites Swim Deep, and many more.
After debuting in 2022, A Stone’s Throw has been rising year-on-year, graced by the likes of Sundara Karma and hundreds of other artists, local and beyond, in recent years.
The festival has previously transformed local coffee shops, event warehouses, CBD dispensaries, and working men’s clubs into music venues for one day only, in a truly unique live music experience.
This year’s event will be run in association with the council-led scheme NS 800 (a year-long calendar of exciting events that celebrates North Shields past, present and future), as part of the town’s 800th year celebrations.
The Go North East bus service will once again be included in the ticket price, running its fastest service yet between the five venues: The Exchange 1856, King Street Social Club, Salt Market Social, Three Tanners Bank and The Engine Room.

Anthony Thompson (Notion Live Events) commented:“Now in its third instalment, A Stone’s Throw has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2022. 2025 will see the event hone in on North Shields as part of the town’s 800th year celebrations and we’re buzzing to be bringing such a high calibre set of acts to venues which typically find themselves under utilised.
“Seeing the local community support the event has been awesome but to shine a light on the local area, by welcoming international attendees has been immensely encouraging. We look forward to continuing the growth of the event in 2025!”
