Last year, we hosted “Boro Sounds”, bringing together some truly incredible bands from across Teesside to battle it out for the title of Middlesbrough’s best band. The energy was electric, the talent unforgettable, and the competition fierce.
This year, we’re back — bigger, bolder, and better than ever. Expect a full evening of music for every taste, from exciting new up-and-coming talent to your favourite local bands, all taking to the stage as they compete for this year’s Best Band title.
Come along, find your new favourite act, or scream along from the crowd. If you’re feeling brave, jump on the open mic with a live band and live your main character moment!
At The Cells, DJ Jamie Pell brings a late-night set, with your favourite rave tunes. Bring your mates and enjoy his bold, raw, unfiltered set.
More music. More chaos. More moments.
This isn’t just a gig, it’s Boro Sounds 2026, and you really don’t want to miss it!
