I contemplated going to Newcastle but I just can’t get away with the arena as a venue, terrible acoustics and always feels flat in there.

Ill give it a try when the rumoured renovation works are done.

Ya right like, but general rule of thumb for me is front half of arena sounds better than rear half.Never seen them before or either support acts so looking forward to it

So the venues are then in the busy area ?
Surely a busy event is better than the square on a normal day ?

Ive never been, dont agree with it. I can't imagine that the entire area including the venue are boxed off, but maybe it is. The idea that a public area paid for with public money can they be monetized for private ventures is pretty shitty imo

We were up in the side balcony so had a decent view of it. It was around 20 mins in maybe? I missed the start but the Mrs tells me some pissed bloke came in from the back and decided to start barging past everyone to get to the front. Those around objected. Looked like some other guy in the crowd "escorted" him out, but in the ruckus another bloke seemed to be holding the top of his head and needed treatment.

Totally knocked them off their stride, wasn't their best gig, imo

Didn't help that a fella collapsed a few rows in front of us (on the right side of the floor), and had to be taken out a side door.
 
knifedoutofexistence, Geheimnisknecht, Rovellasca, Jorge Boehringer at Central Bar in Gateshead tonight. Will be my first time seeing any of these perform. Knew none of these names until recently, but some research made me think I'll probably enjoy it. Know Jorge was on sound duties at Boundaries Festival in Sunderland.
