Hall One

Hall One with its pale solid ash interior, mainly seated format is suitable for large scale performances. It has a high specification in-house PA and lighting system and also the infrastructure to receive outside productions. With a seated capacity of up to 1,700 seats and - from late 2008 - there will also be the option to create a standing/dance space at the front for around 200 people.

Hall Two

Hall Two is a very vivid, flexible space with the technical infrastructure to deal with a number of standard and in-the-round configurations. It also has a high specification in-house PA and lighting system. Its flexibility makes it ideal for a wide range of events from intimate acoustic concerts, seated theatre, cabaret-style, in-the-round, or standing dance gigs.

The Concourse

The spectacular Concourse has a glazed frontage and stunning river views. It has huge potential with its large volume and will be used for occasional live events and festivals.

Festivals

We use The Sage Gateshead for a number of visiting and in-house festivals. It is possible to make three, or even four, live stages available at any one time across all the halls and the Concourse, supported by a large number of dressing rooms and advanced production facilities. There is also great scope for complex events with a rolling programme throughout the day/evening. The option of erecting a large semi-permanent marquee on the venue's car park to increase flexibility can add further capacity.
