TIM GAMBLES HEADLINES THE LOADING BAY, SALT MARKET SOCIAL, NORTH SHIELDS

With incredible local artists Palma Louca and Henry Wright.

Tim Gambles is a Tasmanian-born, North East–based alternative rock artist and multi-instrumentalist who is fast establishing himself as one of the UK’s most compelling new original voices. Gambles has already made a striking impact, earning international radio play, rave reviews, and a growing reputation as a formidable live performer.

His music draws inspiration from the contradictions of modern society, weaving together influences from the natural and industrial worlds. Through emotionally charged song writing and expansive alternative rock arrangements, Gambles explores both the beauty and the unease that arise where these forces coexist. The result is a multifaceted sound that is immediate, immersive, and deeply resonant.

Since releasing his original music again in the summer of 2025, Gambles has toured extensively across the UK, quickly building momentum as a live artist capable of converting casual listeners into dedicated fans. His recent single ‘Gravedigger’, a soaring and anthemic alt-rock release, has further cemented his reputation, following the critical acclaim received for earlier release ‘Story Told Wrong’. Both tracks have been championed by international radio and praised for their emotional weight and song writing maturity.

March 2026 sees Gambles take his live show into Europe with dates across the Netherlands and Germany, followed by an extensive UK tour throughout May and June, marking a significant step in his evolution as a touring artist. With a newly signed artist management deal and further releases planned, his trajectory continues to accelerate.

Before relocating to the UK, Gambles built a strong live reputation in Australia, performing multiple times at Tasmania’s Festivale, a 10,000-capacity event including mainstage appearances, and becoming a recognised name within Melbourne’s live music scene. That experience now underpins a confident and commanding stage presence that translates powerfully to UK and European audiences alike.

With ‘Gravedigger’ out now on all streaming platforms and YouTube, and a packed touring schedule ahead, Tim Gambles is firmly positioning himself as a rising force within the UK alternative rock landscape, one whose story is only just beginning.
