Live Performance

Newcastle City Hall's stunning Concert Hall was built to exhibit grandeur and encompass incredible acoustics. It is for this reason multiple orchestra's perform here each year, including Sydney Symhony Orchestra, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Musica Viva, Omega Ensemble & Australian & Romantic Classical Orchesta.

Newcastle City Hall is also often used for smaller touring concerts, bands, acoustic sets and stand-up comedy and can seat up to 800 people.

Our combination of modern technology and late 1920's architecture creates a unique environment for live performance. The original heritage listed stage can be extended to offer greater depth to the performance space. State-of-the-art technical equipment available at the venue enhances the experience.
