Long Goodbye

Long Goodbye are a metalcore and hardcore group emerging from Newcastle upon Tyne, carving a niche within the UK’s heavy music scene since 2023. Their sound draws deeply from the North-East’s storied underground, balancing brooding intensity with emotionally incisive songwriting. In May 2024, Long Goodbye released the EP “i used to dream of drowning,” expanding their repertoire with tracks such as “cauterising incisions,” “a heart in disrepair,” and “exposure therapy.” Looking ahead, the band’s debut full-length album, “to reconcile with death for the sake of a beautiful ending,” is scheduled for release in September 2025, set to further define their artistic vision.

The group has made their presence felt on the live circuit, recently appearing at OUTBREAK 2025 at Manchester B.E.C Arena. Sharing the bill with an eclectic range of acts, Long Goodbye performed in support of headliners KNOCKED LOOSE, standing alongside notable artists like Alex G and SLOWDIVE. Their ability to engage large audiences within such a diverse lineup demonstrates their appeal and adaptability within the modern hardcore spectrum.

Long Goodbye are set to continue building their reputation for energetic live music, with concerts including an October 2026 appearance at The Joiners in Southampton, appearing in support of GUILT TRIP. For fans of metalcore, hardcore, and the UK’s boundary-pushing underground, following Long Goodbye and tracking their tour dates is essential to keep up with their latest gigs and artistic developments.
