We are funded by the community for the community. All of the bands are playing for their travel costs and it would be nice for them to leave with something in their pocket other than the warm welcome we will give them.

Although Hexham Punk Pride is free to attend – that’s right, you heard it correctly, 5 amazing bands for free!!! It sadly does not cost free to host Hexham Pride. If you are able to donate, we would very much appreciate the help, we have no official funding and no corporate sponsorship.

Gaydar Sugar, spice, and everything GAY! Hailing from Newcastle Upon Tyne, Gaydar are an in-your-face queer punk trio bound by chaos.Β  Delivering gut-punching sounds, they channel their angst and energy into every song and performance whilst takling the absurd and unjust with brutal honesty and unapologetic satirical wit.

And finally, but absolutely never the least, the most exciting band to come out of Newcastle, the young, talented, energetic, fun, incredible, and absolutely fabulous Gaydar!!! πŸ’œπŸ€©
