Utilita Arena Newcastle

With a massive 40,000 square meters of space and seating for over 11,500 fans, the arena is a testament to the vision of former Animals star Chas Chandler and his partner Nigel Stanger. Since opening its doors in November 1995, with an inaugural concert by David Bowie just a month later, Utilita Arena Newcastle has become an iconic symbol of the North East, standing proudly alongside landmarks like the Tyne Bridge, the Angel of the North, and Hadrian's Wall.

We believe that the joy of live performances should be accessible to all, and we're committed to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy entertainment in a comfortable, inclusive, and welcoming environment.
