"I think it's the best venue in Newcastle" - You tell us your memories of O2 City Hall Newcastle

Unlike many venues across the city such as Boiler Shop and the (now lost) Riverside, the venue on the corner of Northumberland Road and College Street has always been used as a space for live music, meaning it has a long, storied history.

Opened in 1927, the site is now nearly 100 years old. It was part of a development which included the Newcastle City Baths and became the city’s first dedicated music venue soon after the ribbon was cut, in part thanks to an organ which was put in place a year after the opening year.

We have reviewed all sorts of shows at the venue, from classic stars like Johnny Marr to up and comers such as The Last Dinner Party.

The venue has hosted some incredible names since it opened, and we took to Facebook to ask what your favourite gig has been.

“It always was, and will be, my favourite NE music venue” said Kev Hill. Despite seeing the likes of Paul Weller, The Who, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy and more at the site, he said “my favourite nights were seeing The Faces with their Laddish, Feel Good, Boozy atmosphere - their music was sometimes sloppy but the occasions remain memorable!”

Hilary Lamming added: “This is my favourite venue! Lindisfarne on a Christmas Eve and Slade definitely my favourite - my ears actually hurt thinking of it!”

Many others mentioned the Lindisfarne festive show back in 1979, which was opened by Chris Rea

Some examples of the huge names playing the venue came from BB King thanks to Stephen Ball, the Rolling Stones from Mary Sykes and Bruce Springsteen, who was mentioned on multiple occasions.

Linda Thurlow says her top memory was seeing the Beatles there in November 1963 - while Robert Dodds remembers Paul McCartney returning with Wings.

Others are lucky enough to have shared the stage with these icons, James Rae says he remembers playing in Northern Junior Philharmonic Concerts from 1974-78. “They were all special!” he added.

Brian Thompson agreed, saying his favourite memory was “playing the fiddle in a Durham County Youth Orchestra Concert, early 60s, after a couple of crafty halves in the Northumberland Arms between rehearsal and concert, like good musicians!”
