Preview: Polyvinyl @ Three Tanners Bank, North Shields

North East indie-alt outfit Polyvinyl bring their latest themed headline show to Three Tanners Bank, North Shields on 30th October, wrapping up a year that has seen the six-piece sell out Cluny 2, headline Kendal Calling’s Roots Stage and surpass 100,000 streams for their EP Where This Ends. Their final regional headline date of 2026 takes inspiration from The Wizard Of Oz, with the band promising film clips, themed covers, custom staging and costumes, while audience members are encouraged to embrace the fancy dress theme themselves.

The show continues a tradition of ambitious headline productions. Previous outings have included a game show-inspired debut headline performance and Polyvinyl: The Comeback Special, modelled on Elvis Presley’s famous 1968 television special. This latest event sees the band build an entire show around the much-loved 1939 film, using its narrative as a thread throughout the evening.

Speaking about the concept, frontwoman Annabelle says: “Our headline gigs are always an excuse to put on a bit of a production. I’ve loved The Wizard Of Oz since I was a kid, but Dorothy’s situation felt pretty familiar this year while we were on the road. Finding your feet on stage can feel a lot like getting caught in a cyclone, then having to figure out how to follow the road without losing your head. Plus, the ruby red slippers match my corset (which I made myself!). Selling out The Cluny 2 was huge for us, and we wanted to finish our local shows for the year with something chaotic and fun.”

Ahead of the show, Polyvinyl release new single Seasons on 23rd October, a more intimate, acoustic-leaning track that bridges the gap between Where This Ends and the band’s next project.
