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.
