Carling Academy Newcastle

The Carling Academy Newcastle is the newest music venue in Newcastle upon Tyne, [[Tyne and Wear], England]. It was opened on October 14, 2005 to an evening headlined by regional band The Futureheads.

The venue was converted from a bingo hall in the summer of 2005 at a cost of four million pounds. Its two-level auditorium has a capacity of almost 2,000 (standing and seating). The venue is operated by the Academy Music Group and sponsored by Carling.

The complex was recently expanded to include a new, smaller, venue dubbed Carling Academy Newcastle 2. This new venue is used for lesser known and up-and-coming acts.

The venue's fastest selling tickets were the Arctic Monkeys.

As with the rest of the Carling Academies, the venue hosts a Kerrang! Rock Night for under 18s every month.
