‘BACK AFTER A COVID-RELATED, THREE-YEAR HIATUS, BYKER GRAVE FESTIVAL BROUGHT A HOST OF UK AND INTERNATIONAL ACTS TO TYNESIDE.
RICH HOLMES WAS THERE TO WITNESS THE FEST’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY.

Since its humble beginnings in a Newcastle pub back in 2013, Byker Grave Festival has been a highlight in North East England’s extreme music calendar… and it has never let genre straightjackets get in the way of its commitment to sonic destruction.
From UK luminaries such as Green Lung and Conan, to cult overseas acts like PLF and Chapel of Disease, the event has brought serious talent to indie venues across Tyneside.
2023’s edition was no exception, with bands from Dewsbury to Tennessee lining to obliterate Anarchy Brew Co (and sample some of the brewery’s produce).”
