Mercury at Fenwick Fanzone

Mercury at Fenwick Fanzone

Six artists from the North East will be selected through an open call run by Generator, the North’s leading music development agency. Each will perform their own original music alongside an acoustic cover from one of this year’s Mercury Prize-shortlisted albums.

It’s a chance to hear shortlisted tracks in a new light and to see what the region’s next wave of talent has to offer.

Set in Fenwick’s newly opened pub, the Fanzone offers an intimate way to experience live music at the heart of the city. It’s the perfect stop before heading on to the awards night at the Utilita Arena, a moment to connect with new voices, original songs, and the energy of Mercury Week in Newcastle.

The Mercury Prize at Fenwick Fanzone is part of the Mercury Prize Fringe Newcastle – more than 20 events across seven local authorities, celebrating Northern creativity and building towards the biggest night in the UK music calendar.
