Advantages: One of the most incredible music venues around

Disadvantages: Expensive tickets

The Sage is a music centre for performances and other music related things. There is a divide on whether the Sage looks good from the outside but what nobody can deny is that it looks very striking and aesthetically its position on the side of the river Tyne certainly makes it an eye catcher. The outside is made out of glass panels, with beautiful curves an a quite bizarre overall shape- the picture here does not really do it justice.

What is more important is that there can be no disputes about the inside- everything is perfect. There are two main halls, one smaller hall which lets you feel really close to musicians and a larger hall which is made almost entirely out of wood- it looks absolutely stunning.

Besides these main halls, there are several other rooms which can be hired out for various purposes- mainly for music type stuff.

The main attraction at the Sage is obviously the people who play at it, and these people are all huge musicians, who though they typically carry a hefty price tag, are certainly worth seeing at one of the most fantastic concert halls you will ever see.

Summary: If you are in Newcastle overnight, invest in tickets to a performance here- probably Hall 1
