Civic Rumble Cartel

Welcome to the Civic Rumble Cartel, a rowdy bunch of Newcastle aficionados who celebrate the city’s pulse through the lens of music, arts, and your average post-pub shenanigans. If you think the Civic Theatre is only for 'serious plays' (you know the ones), think again! We dig into the underground art scene, local gigs, and, of course, those midnight existential crises that inevitably happen after a Saturday at the Criterion. Prepare for discussions on everything from slam poetry to Yes, Dylan's recent tour, punctuated by sharp sarcasm, laughter, and a disturbing amount of pride in our local talent—all while trying not to spill on the floor. It's the only cartel where you're invited to complain about city planning and celebrate our next big gig in one fell swoop. Come for culture, stay for the chaos!
