The O2 Academy Newcastle (formerly the Carling Academy Newcastle) is a music venue in
Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It was opened on October 14 2005 to an evening headlined by
Sunderland 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 network operator O2. The venue was formerly known as "Carling Academy
Newcastle", being rebranded following a multi-million pound deal between O2 and music
promotor Live Nation.
