eastside events present MR BRUCE Plus guests  Friday 1st October 2026 Newcastle – ZEROX Doors 7pm Both as The Correspondents and a solo artist, Mr Bruce has achieved cult status for his live shows taking him as far as New Zealand, Australia and Chile where he played in front of audiences of over 10,000 fans, both old and new. Maniacal and balletic, his performance lands somewhere between contemporary dance and rave.  Following a summer packed full of festival dates, Mr Bruce will venture throughout his home country for his largest ever headline tour in support of his highly anticipated debut album, OK, released on state51 on 15th May 2026. OK is a multi-genre masterpiece produced by Angus Kemp spanning hyperpop, garage, hip hop and ambient with guest vocals from legendary musician Brian Eno, cult US rapper Homeboy Sandman and emerging UK talent HAM. Together they navigate the subjects of grief, protest and a love of the ocean with extraordinary energy, dexterity and depth. Looking ahead to the tour this Autumn, Mr Bruce said “I have found over the years that gigs/clubs/festivals that I’ve played have gone from being about the pursuit of hedonism to something else. There’s still all the dancing and raucous energy, but there’s also space created for a little catharsis if that’s what you need. Many of the songs that I’ve made are designed for the dancefloor, but the lyrics are about processing grief and standing in defiance of systems built to oppress and divide us. For my new live show I want to make a space for collective engagement with the complexity of our volatile world along with the release of dancing and shaking it all out with a room full of people.”  The live show promises to be raging, joyful and intense
