We are currently adding new events here as they become confirmed. In the meanwhile our bar is open for walk-in drinks Thursday through til Sunday and check our socials for any pop up DJ’s or events.
TOM WAITS FOR NO MAN
LIVE MUSIC + ALBUM LAUNCH
With some calling on the Lord, and some keeping down of the Devil, Tom Waits For No Man are on home turf at Whitley Bay’s newest hostelry, Oxygenic; to celebrate the release of their debut album, ‘Neckties and Boxing Gloves’
Rather than play the album in its entirety, they’ve decided to celebrate the extensive Waits religious canon with a Sunday service of songs warning you of Satan’s deeds and explanations of the whereabouts of Christ!
Come along to hear the songs of Tom Waits warning us of the Devil’s wiles and Jesus’s imminent arrival, all performed to a back drop of piano, spanners, bass and beer, on the Lord’s own day.
After ‘Tom’s Sunday Service’, another fine coastal dweller, DJ Bobbi Charleston – founder member of dance collective ‘Swing Tyne’ and front woman of ‘The House of Black Gardenia’ – will be playing from her unique selection of R & B, Blues, Soul and global grooves.
Doors 2:30PM, music 3:00PM
Oxygenic, 169 Whitley Road, Whitley Bay, NE26 2DN
Tickets – £8 entry only, £14 with album CD
AN EVENING OF ACOUSTIC STORYTELLING WITH JAZ RILEY
Jaz is a queer POC singer-songwriter based in Edinburgh, originally from Whitley Bay, who draws inspiration from the arts, nature, and the personal experiences that have shaped their life.
Rooted in acoustic sounds, Jaz has been playing guitar for over 10 years with music as the constant anchor in their life.
Following the release of their recent EP this is going to be a night where Jaz tells their story through an intimate, honest, and ever evolving acoustic set, rooted in identity, growth and connections.

STUDIO CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Built as part of the wider OXYGENIC ecosystem, the studios bring together creative sessions, sound-led experiences, workshops and more reflective forms of practice within an independent and evolving environment above the venue itself.
The space is light-filled, organic and creatively alive. Designed to feel calm, open and welcoming, the studios invite people to make, explore, and reconnect with creativity in a more natural way again.
As the studios continue to evolve, they are beginning to form a new creative layer within the building and a growing part of the wider cultural community developing around OXYGENIC.
Created by one of the OXYGENIC co-founders, the studios are shaped by a background in art, psychotherapy, creative and somatic practice. You can find out more about her work here, and sign up to our newsletter below to be the first to hear about upcoming workshops, events and studio openings.
