ONE OF the North East’s leading open air venues is promising to make up for lost time, with the unveiling of its plans for a spectacular new Year’s Eve celebration.

STACK Newcastle has become one of Newcastle’s go-to spots for live music and street food, which at this time of year is even more popular thanks to its festival pop up, Hadrian’s Tipi.

And because New Year’s Eve 2020 was such a disappointment due to lockdown, the venue has decided to host the party of the year, with a special ticketed event on 31 December 2021.

The evening will include live music provided by one of STACK’S regular live bands who will play party favourites, along with resident DJ Aaron Robson who will be on the decks throughout the night.

And to ensure that nobody misses out, early bird tickets for the event have now gone on sale, at just £10 plus booking fee per person.

Kevin Walker, Entertainments Director at Danieli Group, which owns STACK Newcastle, believes it will be sell-out.

“STACK is now a well-established live entertainment venue, and our regular bands play the hits people of all ages want to enjoy,” he said.

“We didn’t get the chance to celebrate last year so this year we want to make it really special and social – what better way than to get together with friends and families to enjoy live music and the festival style atmosphere we create.”

STACK normally operate as a walk-in venue, but for New Year’s Eve the event will be ticketed to manage capacity and give customers guaranteed entry.

Entry will be from 8pm and tables are on a first come first serve basis. All the street food vendors will be open serving their full menus.

Neill Winch CEO of Danieli Group, owners of STACK Newcastle added: “Since opening in the summer of 2018 we have been overwhelmed by the customer support we have received – especially during Covid restrictions.

“The venue would not be what the vibrant place it is without the people of Newcastle who have fully embraced STACK and made it their own. We hope NYE can bring our customers together to join us for a massive celebration and to end the year on a real positive note.”

Early bird tickets will be available to buy online at www.stacknewcastle.com

Once the discounted tickets have sold out regular tickets will be released.

STACK Newcastle and all the street food traders will be open as usual through the day with live entertainment in the afternoon before closing for the ticketed event. A full list of entertainment and events can be found on the website www.stacknewcastle.co.uk/whatson
