WHY PEOPLE COME BACK
The Northcourt LIVE combines professional production with the atmosphere of a small independent venue.
With only 200 people in the room, the stage feels close, the crowd matters and every show feels personal.
Professional sound and lighting, free on-site parking and a year-round programme of live music make it a very different night from watching a show in a large arena.

Shows span rock, metal, pop and indie, with tributes celebrating artists including Iron Maiden, Metallica, Queen, Linkin Park, P!NK, Take That, Robbie Williams, Cher, Status Quo, Rammstein, Coldplay, Oasis, Bon Jovi, Ghost and Motörhead.
