Mayfair Ballroom

Coordinates: 54°58′19″N 1°36′58″W / 54.972°N 1.616°W / 54.972; -1.616 Mayfair Ballroom was a ballroom and concert hall situated on Newgate Street in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England. The oblong room was built to hold 1,500 people and had a small stage along one of the longer walls.[1]

The venue hosted Europe's largest and longest-running rock club, spanning four decades.[1]

Artists that played the venue, early in their career, include The Who, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Police, The Cross, Kylie Minogue, Tin Machine, U2, The Clash, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Nirvana, among others.[1]

Led Zeppelin's first ever live performance in the United Kingdom, was at the Mayfair Ballroom on October 4, 1968.[2]

In the late 1990s, the Mayfair was demolished, to make way for a leisure complex, called The Gate. The closing night was attended by 5,000 people.
