The Lemonheads are coming to Newcastle this weekend: how to get tickets, when doors open and possible setlist

Cult nineties group The Lemonheads, led by Evan Dando, are set to perform in Newcastle this weekend.

Known for their cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s hit Mrs. Robinson, The Lemonheads are touring the UK to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their album It’s A Shame About Ray, released in 1992.

The album, their first released through a major record label, helped break the band into the mainstream music scene alongside Mrs. Robinson being featured in the movie Wayne’s World 2, released a year later.

More recently, Martin Scorcese used the cover in his 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street, bringing a renewed interest in the band from younger listeners.

The Lemonheads went on a hiatus in 1998 to 2004, during the down period of the style of college rock the band were renowned for.

However upon their return, the band have released three new albums since 2009, with lead singer Evan Dando a constant member since their formation in 1986.
