Each month at ARC, we love sharing the shows and events that have inspired us the most. From heartwarming stories to Pride celebrations and plenty of rock and roll in between, here are some of our July 2025 favourites!
Tony – Friend of ARC
Live/Wire absolutely blew the roof off ARC! It was like stepping back in time and seeing AC/DC at their peak, raw, loud, and electrifying. The crowd was ready to rock from the first riff, and when Angus Young climbed onto Brian Johnson’s shoulders during ‘Highway to Hell’ the place went wild. Pure rock and roll magic!
Mel – Marketing Administrator
I hadn’t seen a piece of theatre in a long time, but James Rowland’s Learning To Fly has reignited my love. I was captivated by the way he delved into fond memories of his childhood of his unlikely friendship with his elderly next-door neighbour. Emotional and honest – it reminded me why theatre is so special.
Chantal – Marketing Manager
I had an absolute blast at Dragged Up in Stockton as part of Stockton Pride! The Queens were top-notch entertainment – glamorous, hilarious, and full of energy. But the real showstopper was the Trashion Runway where teams hit the stage and created Oscar-worthy gowns out of bin bags. Here’s hoping they return next year, we all need a bit of fabulousness in our lives!
In August, we can’t wait to rock with The Undertones, have a good dance at Funky Family Fest, and enjoy big laughs at the always hilarious Catch 22 Comedy Club. There’s always something for everyone!
