The North

The North, a hard rock group emerging from Los Angeles, have steadily built a presence on both sides of the Atlantic since forming in 2013. Their distinctive sound, as captured on their 2014 album "Disengage" and standout tracks like “Etched in Stone” and “Who Have I Become,” has earned them admiration from discerning live music fans. The band's musicianship and commanding performances have seen them invited onto notable stages, including Somerset House in London where they supported The Cribs in July 2026, and Victoria Park for the Neighbourhood Weekender, joining a bill topped by Richard Ashcroft.

Beyond these high-profile support slots, The North have demonstrated their versatility by playing revered independent venues, such as ARC in Stockton-on-Tees for The Gathering Sounds and Social in Hull. Their inclusion on festival and club line-ups speaks to a growing reputation within the UK rock scene, sharing stages with acclaimed acts and standing out amidst packed bills. The band’s ability to connect with audiences is evident through their energetic gigs and the reception of songs like "Long Goodbye" and "Staring at Your Picture" in both intimate venues and larger festival environments.

Looking ahead, The North are set to headline a string of concerts throughout winter 2026, including appearances at Arts Club Loft in Liverpool, Fulford Arms in York, Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, Yellow Arch in Sheffield, and The Bodega in Nottingham.
