The City Hall with a capacity of 2135 is the ideal venue for a variety of acts from Rock and Pop to Comedy.

The City Hall was opened in 1927 as part of Newcastle's redevelopment which also included the City Pool.  The Harrison and Harrison Organ was added in 1928 to give Newcastle its first dedicated concert venue.

For almost 40 years the City Hall hosted concerts by major British Orchestras featuring conductors such as St Malcolm Sargent and soloists such as Yehudi Menuhin and Kathleen Ferrier.  In addition local choirs and societies hold their annual concerts, there are celebrity recitals and talks as well as Civic functions.

The City Hall has continued to host almost every rock and pop "great" since the 60's as well as seeing the first tours of future legends.  Throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's the City Hall maintained its position as one of the best and most used 2000 seated venues in the country, and one of many artists favourite "gigs".  Bruce Springsteen rates the City Hall show in 1981 as one of his best three shows and both Dire Straits and Elton John insisted on starting world tours in the Hall.

As well as music the City Hall has a tremendous reputation for comedy and has seen multiple sell out shows by Billy Connelly, Little Britain, and The Mighty Boosh.  It's reputation is growing as this year we have secured a number of established comedians and up and coming cult comedy shows.
