Paloma Faith Newcastle 2027 gig announced despite outage

Paloma Faith will return to Tyneside next year, with a show at the O2 City Hall in Newcastle confirmed for October 18, 2027, after the venue had to work around a global Microsoft outage to make the announcement.

The planned reveal on Friday morning was disrupted by the worldwide Microsoft outage that affected businesses across the globe, leaving many users without access to emails and Teams. City Hall bosses resorted to Instagram to break the news, posting: 'We're announcing Paloma Faith...but Outlook is down', using a doodle of the singer rather than official tour artwork.

Career Highlights and New Album

Faith first entered the UK charts with Stone Cold Sober in 2009 and has remained a regular presence since. Her hits over a career spanning nearly two decades include New York, Picking Up The Pieces, Never Tear Us Apart and Only Love Can Hurt Like This.

Last year, she appeared as a contestant on the first series of Celebrity Traitors, drawing millions of BBC viewers. Her time on the show ended when close friend and eventual winner Alan Carr 'murdered' her in the castle, a betrayal that became one of 2025's most memorable TV moments.

Faith is now focusing on music again, with her new album In Full Colour due out in March. After teasing something big, she released new single Gone at midnight, with the 2027 tour announcement planned for Friday morning.

Ticket Details

Pre-sale tickets for the Newcastle show go on sale at 10am on Wednesday, November 18, with general sale following at 10am the next Friday.
