We’re a music collective from Darlington producing events and activities for the benefit of musicians, music organisations and audiences in the local area.

We are Tracks Darlington

Founded in 2016 and established as a Community Interest Company in 2020, we have been running gigs, festivals, workshops, creating opportunities for local musicians and connecting with audiences for many years.

Last Train Home Festival is our flagship multi-venue event in Darlington, bringing together the best of the local music scene; Noisy Daughters is our drive to inspire and empower women in the music industry; Mish Mash Festival brings a family friendly musical menagerie to the town centre; BIG Little Gigs brings big live music experiences to children and their grown ups; while Hark! explores the creative crossovers between music & the written word.
