Seats in demand for Brass in Concert

November in Gateshead may be a while away, but tickets for Brass in Concert are already being snapped up very quickly.

Brass in Concert
  The Brass in Concert Championships take place this November

There are less than 150 seats left on offer for the 2026 Brass in Concert Championship in November.

Such has been the take-up since they went on sale a fortnight ago that the organisers are advising people to make sure they don't miss out on what promises to be an outstanding day of brass band entertainment on Saturday 14th November at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead.

Avid support

BiC, CEO Nigel Stevens told 4BR: "It's incredibly heartening to see the avid support from brass band supporters.

Saturday is on track to sell out for a third year in a row thanks to a great delivery team and competing bands that we already know are hard at work to ensure a memorable contest made up of memorable performances."

Tickets:

Marketing Officer, Chloe Dyson-Asher added: "Obviously it's my role to tell you that Brass in Concert is the place to be in November, but it truly is the place to be. You'll want to be there to soak up the atmosphere and see these incredible performances first-hand."
