The Gig Cartel - Venues: Stockton Georgian Theatre

Our venue, The Georgian Theatre, is a 200 capacity venue managed and programmed by Tees Music Alliance. Opened as a theatre in 1766, the building underwent a range of uses up until 1993 when it was handed over to us by our landlords - Stockton Borough Council - who have worked with us since then to support a range of events.

Our list of previous performers is huge. In addition to a multitude of home grown acts we've hosted the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Mystery Jets, The Kooks, James Blunt [oops!], John Cooper Clarke, Duke Special, UK Subs, The Cribs, Sean Ryder, Clint Boon, John Cooper Clarke, Athlete, Jack Penate, John Shuttleworth, Daisy Chainsaw, Lost Prophets, The Macabees, The Charlatans, The Chapman Family... the list goes on!

Tucked away in a courtyard just off Stockton's riverside, The Georgian Theatre's unpretentious interior provides an intimate setting for an evening's entertainment - no glitz or glamour, just a good pint and some of the best original music to be found on Teesside.
