Nerina Pallot Live at The Bowes Museum

Enjoy an unforgettable evening with critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot. Following four sold-out performances at The Bowes Museum in 2025, Nerina returns to the intimate setting of the Jubilee Room this December.

As she concludes her 2026 Fire Escape Symphonies UK and Ireland solo tour, audiences can experience her signature blend of heartfelt songwriting, captivating storytelling and stunning live performance in one of the North East’s most unique venues.

About Nerina Pallot:

Nerina Pallot is one of the UK’s most quietly extraordinary singer-songwriters. Across eight albums, she has built a body of work that is deeply honest, musically adventurous, and completely her own. A Brit and Ivor Novello nominee, she’s collaborated with artists as commercial as Kylie Minogue, yet it’s her solo work, fiercely intimate and unflinchingly human, that has earned her a devoted following.

A spellbinding live performer and multi-instrumentalist, Pallot’s shows are never the same twice. Whether she’s behind a piano or switching between guitars, she plays with both precision and freedom, weaving stories and humour through songs that shift seamlessly from heartbreak to hilarity. In June, Nerina celebrated her 25 year career with a landmark concert at London's Royal Albert Hall, a testament to the emotional force of her live performances.

Her haunting cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart introduced her to a new generation of listeners when it featured in the acclaimed TV series Normal People, going viral and reaffirming her gift for reinventing familiar songs with startling emotional clarity.

The "Fire Escape Symphonies" tour is Pallot at her most raw and direct: one woman, a piano, a guitar, and songs drawn from across her 25-year career; these performances are a celebration of connection, between artist and audience, between songs and the stories that shaped them.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Nerina Pallot up close and personal in one of County Durham’s most iconic venues.
