Leigh-Anne Visits Gateshead For Album Signing And Performance

30 January 2026, 1:08 pm

Singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock is visiting Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, on 25 February 2026 for an exclusive album signing at hmv Gateshead in the Metrocentre. The event is part of Leigh-Anne’s UK Record Store Tour celebrating the launch of her debut solo studio album, My Ego Told Me To.

To attend the session, fans must purchase a ticket bundle that includes a copy of the new album (CD or vinyl) via hmv’s Live & Signings/event bundles portal; these bundles provide a wristband for entry and are available to buy online through the artist’s Record Store Tour listing and hmv. The album is set for release on 20 February 2026, a few days before the Gateshead signing.

The signing will be held at hmv in the Metrocentre’s Lower Blue Mall. The Gateshead date is one of only a small number of North East/Scotland-area Record Store Tour stops (the schedule shows Edinburgh/Glasgow sessions on 26 February), making it a rare opportunity for local fans to meet the artist. Similar hmv signings and local appearances by Little Mix members have previously attracted long queues, indicating strong local demand.

There are no specific ticket allocations reserved for Gateshead residents; tickets (bundles) are sold on a first-come, first-served basis via hmv’s online event/bundle listings rather than through Ticketmaster. Fans who secure a bundle will receive a wristband allowing a brief meet-and-greet and a photo opportunity with Leigh-Anne, as is typical for hmv signing events.

After the Record Store Tour stops, Leigh-Anne is scheduled to begin a series of full headline concerts in April 2026. The signing tour gives supporters a more intimate chance to hear new songs and meet the artist in a smaller setting before the larger shows begin.
