North East indie band Young Rebel Set will round off a landmark year with a Christmas homecoming gig.
Young Rebel Set will play Middlesbrough Town Hall on Saturday, December 19, after returning to European touring, performing at SXSW London and continuing work on their third album.
The band said: "To be heading into Christmas with a big hometown show after the year we've had feels pretty special. We've been blown away by the response since getting back together.
"And there's nothing quite like playing back on Teesside. These are the people and places where it all started for us, and we can't think of a better way to round off the year than getting everyone together for a proper Christmas celebration."

Formed in Stockton in 2007, Young Rebel Set built a loyal UK and European following with indie rock, folk influences and emotive songwriting.
Their albums Curse Our Love and Crocodile produced fan favourites including If I Was, Lion’s Mouth and Measure of a Man.
Following the death of frontman Matthew Chipchase in 2019, the band's future was uncertain.
A 2024 memorial performance in Stockton sparked the reunion and began a new chapter for the band.

The band said: "We've been working behind the scenes on new music, which we’ll be looking into releasing next year and we're really excited for people to hear what we've been creating.
"We may just throw in a couple of new songs alongside the old favourites, so expect a big night.
"We can't wait."
With a refreshed line-up, Young Rebel Set returned in 2025 with the five-track SUN EP, BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Introducing airplay, sold-out German shows and two packed homecoming gigs in Stockton.
Their comeback continued in 2026 with more European performances, an SXSW London slot and another run of German shows over the summer.
The Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt show will celebrate the fans who have supported the band from the start.
The band will play songs from across their career alongside new material.
