Launched in 2014, Twisterella Festival is the creation of Middlesbrough’s most dynamic and forward thinking independent music promoters, Pay for the Piano and The Kids Are Solid Gold.
Centred around the University area of town on Linthorpe Road & Southfield Road, the 1000 capacity metropolitan festival utilises established music venues such as Teesside University Students’ Union, The Townhouse and The Westgarth Social Club, to name but a few, along with pop-up sessions in some of the town’s coolest bars.
Nominated in the best ‘New Festival On The Block’ category in the 2015 AIF Festival Congress Awards, Twisterella is designed to showcase the brightest emerging national and international music talent, as well as give a platform to a select number of local and regional acts who are ready to make the step up to the big stage.
In addition to the live acts, Twisterella features an (Un)Conference with the focus on bringing key music industry figures to the town to share their expertise and offer advice to new and developing Teesside musicians.
