Jimmy Nail adds fifth show at The Glasshouse after sell-out run
What started as a single night has turned into something much bigger. Due to phenomenal demand, celebrated actor, singer, musician and writer, Jimmy Nail will now play a fifth date of Stories and Songs at The Glasshouse this Autumn – marking an unprecedented run for the venue.
Originally announced as a one-off, the shows quickly grew into a four-date residency-style run (Sunday 11 October – Tuesday 13 October 2026), with audiences snapping up tickets as soon as they were released. Now a final fifth date has been added as Jimmy finishes his national tour back in the North East, returning to The Glasshouse on Tuesday 3 November.
Stories and Songs is a warm, intimate evening of music and memories from one of the North East’s most beloved voices – spanning everything from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and Spender to Crocodile Shoes and beyond. Joined on stage by long-time collaborator Tony Davis, Jimmy will share songs, stories and a few surprises along the way.
Jimmy Nail said: “As well as being a pleasure to make my return to The Glasshouse in Gateshead and play such a cool venue, this unprecedented five-date run is, on a personal level, gratifying and humbling. I’m planning one or two surprises for these unique occasions and look forward to seeing you all in a few months’ time.”
Wendy Smith, Creative Director at The Glasshouse, said: “In twenty one years of The Glasshouse, we’ve never had an artist sell out four consecutive shows and now we’re adding a fifth! But then, this is Jimmy Nail. This is the closest to an artist residency than we’ve ever had and we are delighted to host Jimmy. When we announced the first date, it was gone in a flash. So, we added another. And another. At some point you stop being surprised and just feel incredibly proud that our audiences have that kind of love for Jimmy and that he wanted to come home to Gateshead to share these shows with them. There’s nowhere better to hear a life story than here and few better storytellers than Jimmy Nail.”
These concerts are presented by 432 Presents and Tony Denton Promotions.
