The Newcastle City Hall is located adjacent to the popular City Pool. It was opened in the year 1927. Its primary purpose was to organize concerts and it can accommodate 2,135 people at a time. Some of the upcoming events, scheduled to take place at the City Hall this year include Step into Winter - Song and Dance Spectacular, Greg Davies - the back of my Mum's Head, Silver Belles Christmas Show, Five, Jools Holland and His Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, Brass with Voices of Inspiration, Ed Byrne, Deacon Blues and the Bootleg Beatles.

It was in 1981 when the popular band Motorhead recorded their No Sleep 'til Hammsersmith album at the city hall and this album remained number one on the British charts for several months. In the same year, another well-known band, Slade performed at the City Hall and recorded their live album which was later named as Slade on the Stage. Pictures at an Exhibition was another live album which was recorded by Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

In November of 2012, The Newcastle City Council, in a bid to reduce non-developmental expenditures, hinted towards the likely closure of the venue because the City Hall and the City Pool seemed of no use and a number of other options were in inconsideration in this context. But in response to this threat, the closure was preempted when a petition signed by 13,000 people was presented to the Newcastle City Council by the North East Music History Group on Facebook.

It was in 1928  that the venue was planned to be constructed as the central place for concerts. To materialize this objective, a Harrison and Harrison organ was constructed and this organ has been used for classical concerts and recitals during Christmas, religious congregations and mass recital. The organ consists of 4,274 pipes with several unique rhythms and the term 'Rolls-Ryce of organs' has particularly been assigned to it. But because of the gross negligence of the authorities, the organ is in a dilapidated condition and needs repair.  It was awarded a Grade 1 Historic Organ Certificate way back in the year 2003 and it is believed that it is the hall's Grade II status organ.
