About

Split the Ticket is an alt indie rock band from Newcastle, dubbed by NARC as ‘seamless, thought-provoking, and effortlessly danceable’. They take inspiration from The Smashing Pumpkins, Fontaines, and Slowdive. Forming from an impromptu battle of the bands win, brothers Oisin and Finn and their friend Lachlan set out to build a name for themselves. This year, they took to new stages around the UK. A highlight was their sold-out EP launch at Newcastle’s Cluny, a turning point for the band as they ramped up efforts to be the name on everyone’s mind, which resulted in a slot at Kendal Calling. They play Leeds, Sheffield, London and Liverpool next then have headline shows in Leeds and Newcastle.
