Designed by award-winning architect Norman Foster, the Sage Gateshead is an eye-catching entertainment and conference venue situated on the south bank of the River Tyne. Check out the range of Sage Gateshead tickets on offer at StubHub.
Part of the Quayside development which also features the Millennium Bridge and a contemporary art centre, the Sage Gateshead boasts three different performance spaces under its distinctive curved glass roof; a 1700-seater and 450-seater hall and smaller rehearsal room. Largely funded by the National Lottery, the venue was opened in 2004 and instantly grabbed attention for its award-winning dome-shaped design from esteemed architect Norman Foster. As well as staging various pop and rock, comedy, theatre and family events, the building has also become a political party conference favourite, with Labour holding their 2005 spring event there and the Liberal Democrats following suit in 2012. In 2010 it welcomed over 1500 students through its doors for the National Union of Students' National Conference. It's also home to one of Britain's most acclaimed chamber orchestras, the Royal Northern Sinfonia, who in 2014 collaborated with troubadour John Grant for a show later released as a live album. You can both buy and sell Sage Gateshead tickets on StubHub.
A whole host of acclaimed artists have graced the Sage Gateshead stage over the years including cult singer-songwriter Nick Cave, hip-hop pioneers De La Soul, post-rock outfit Explosions in the Sky, electronic producer Bonobo and Mercury Prize winners Elbow and Benjamin Clementine. Blondie, George Clinton, Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Beach Boys, Kraftwerk, Herbie Hancock, Grace Jones, Nancy Sinatra and James Brown are just a few of the bona fide legends who have also performed at the venue, while more contemporary names include Father John Misty, Michael Kiwanuka, alt-J, Walk Off the Earth, Ward Thomas, Little Big Town and Caro Emerald. Several North East acts have also returned to local territory including superstar Sting, indie rockers Maximo Park and bluesman Chris Rea. In 2015 the Sage was chosen as one of the hosts of the annual BBC Radio 6 Music Festival, while in 2018 it welcomed the likes of Shawn Colvin, Natalie Merchant and Steve Earle & the Dukes through its doors as part of the Summertyne Americana Festival.
