Elevate 22

Elevate 22 is a brand new monthly music showcase set to take the region’s live music scene to new heights. Originally hosted at Newcastle’s brand-new live music venue, Newgate Social, Elevate 22 now shifts to feature at other renowned local live music venues, promising to be a premier platform for emerging North East artists and bands.

Building on the success of Marisam’s acclaimed                                Platform 22 gig series, Elevate 22 will feature standout winners from their Platform 22 competitions, along with a handpicked selection of up-and-coming local talent. This unique event gives three original artists the chance to perform their own music in front of a live audience, all competing for the coveted prize of two headline gigs at Newgate Social.

Each showcase will invite the public to vote for their favourite act, giving fans the power to help shape the region’s next big music stars. Not only does Elevate 22 provide a launchpad for these exceptional musicians, but it also offers audiences the exciting opportunity to discover the next hit-maker in the North East.

Elevate 22 will run monthly, offering consistent performance opportunities for local artists while creating an unmissable destination for music lovers in Newcastle. 

Whether you’re a seasoned gig-goer or new to the local music scene, this is your chance to experience the best of the region’s original music – live and up close.
