Last Train Home

The popular live music and comedy festival which champions grassroots acts is set to return to Darlington town centre on Saturday 7 September. Last Train Home festival is an all-day multi-venue event organised by Tracks Darlington with five stages across venues such as The Forum, Darlington Hippodrome and The Hullabaloo Theatre hosting live music from national and local artists. The day will also bring stand-up sets from upcoming comedians via the Hilarity Bites Comedy Club.

The 2024 festival line-up includes alt-indie headliners Avalanche Party, local musician Finn Forster, Isle of Wight natives Coach Party, plus singer-songwriter Michael Gallagher on the music stages, with comedians Bethany Black and Mick Ferry and even more music and comedy acts to be announced. Up and coming North East act Jodie Nicholson also joins the festival which will finish with an afterparty DJ set from James Watson at The Forum.

Last Train Home Festival is curated and managed by Tracks Darlington, a community focused arts organisation, utilising funds from Arts Council England, Creative Darlington and Tees Valley Combined Authority.
