Newcastle's Biggest Concerts at Metro Radio Arena

The Metro Radio Arena, an 11,000-plus seater Newcastle concert arena was the brainchild of the former Animals stars, the late Chas Chandler and his partner in Park Arena, Nigel Stanger. It opened in November 1995 with a basketball game and memorably hosted a David Bowie concert. Ranked seventh among the world’s busiest venues by concert tour magazine, Pollstar, the Arena is the largest concert and exhibition venue in Northeast England. Owned and operated by SMG, it employs locals and supports Newcastle’s economy. Stay over at Copthorne Hotel Newcastle and get from concert to bed in just a 5 minute drive.
