Abnorm

Alt-Rock Night arrives at Newgate Social, headlined by Abnorm.

ABNORM
Formed in 2021 by singer and songwriter Abbie Rose, Abnorm have quickly become one of the North East’s most exciting emerging alternative rock bands. Blending thunderous riffs, raw lyricism and a modern, unapologetic take on rock music, they’ve built a reputation for emotionally charged live shows that balance intensity with vulnerability.

Their latest single Rats captures the band at their most ambitious yet. Written from the perspective of the very thing people fear, it explores themes of dread, discomfort and confronting what we usually avoid. Darkly playful and full of attitude, it shows a band unafraid to push their songwriting into unexpected places.

Drawing inspiration from Paramore, The Pretty Reckless, Yonaka and Nova Twins, Abnorm sit at the forefront of a new wave of female-fronted rock reshaping the genre.

With appearances at Lindisfarne Festival and Treevolution, plus support slots for ARXX, Bad Touch, EEVAH and The Dust Coda, Abnorm arrive at Newgate Social firmly on the rise.

SUPPORTS:

NORTHERN HOSPITALITY
Blending punk energy with anthemic choruses and hook-heavy guitars, Northern Hospitality have quickly become one of the North East’s most exciting live acts. With major support slots and a standout Kendal Calling debut under their belt, they bring a raw, high-energy set built for the live room.

HANGER
Hailing from the North East of England, Hanger are carving out a fierce identity by fusing the attitude of classic rock with the intensity of modern alternative and nu-metal production. Expect soaring, emotive vocals, punchy guitars and hard-hitting rhythms.

Drawing influence from Flyleaf and Violent Vera alongside the rebellious spirit of Blondie, Joan Jett and Courtney Love, Hanger bridge generations — part of a new wave redefining what rock can be in the 21st century, honouring its legacy while reshaping its future.
