Lanterns on the Lake are the Mercury-nominated Newcastle band whose expansive, emotionally charged songs have made them one of the North East’s most quietly powerful live acts.
Lanterns on the Lake have spent more than a decade establishing themselves as one of Newcastle’s most distinctive bands. Led by singer and songwriter Hazel Wilde, they build music of real emotional weight: swelling guitars, expansive, cinematic soundscapes and a voice you won’t mistake for anyone else’s. Their songs move patiently from hushed intimacy to soaring crescendos, and it’s that instinct for light and shade that makes them so absorbing live.
Since their debut Gracious Tide, Take Me Home (2011), the band have deepened their sound across a run of acclaimed albums, earning a Mercury Prize nomination for Spook the Herd (2020). Running through all their work is a rare knack for pairing the intimate with the immense — small, human moments set against something far bigger. On stage those contrasts truly come alive, played by a band completely in tune with one another. It’s thoughtful, atmospheric music made with genuine heart, and a live experience that rewards close attention.
