Lindisfarne come to Medina Theatre in Newport for a Thursday night of folk-rock, north-east songwriting and the kind of choruses that still travel well in a theatre room. The bar opens at 6.30pm and the show starts at 7.30pm, so it lands in that useful after-work slot where you can make an evening of it without losing the next morning.
The appeal here is recognition, musicianship and songs with a long memory. Lindisfarne's catalogue sits between pub singalong, festival field and proper listening room, which makes Medina a good fit: seated, weather-proof and small enough that the songs keep their warmth. If you grew up with the records, this is an easy diary entry. If you are going with someone who did, expect them to know more words than they admit.
Tickets are listed at £36. It is one of the stronger music events on the Isle of Wight for anyone who prefers craft and memory over a loud late-night finish. The September date also gives visitors a useful shoulder-season reason to stay in Newport. Give yourself time to park at Fairlee Road, then let the theatre do what island venues do best: make a touring show feel local for one night.
