Newcastle Entertainment Centre
Newcastle Entertainment Centre is a multi-purpose Australian arena within the Newcastle Showground. It was opened in 1992.
The venue has a seating capacity of 7,528. The centre is air-conditioned (installed as a requirement of the NBL when it moved to playing in the summer), equipped with top-grade lights, and also has scoreboards used for basketball and netball games. The venue is owned by Venues NSW and operated by ASM Global.
The centre's original tenant was the Newcastle Falcons NBL team who moved to the new venue in 1992 from their previous home at the Broadmeadow Basketball Stadium. After the Falcons folded at the end of the 1999 season its only tenant was the Hunter Jaegers netball team who played in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy. The Jaegers played in the centre from 1997 until 2008. From 2003 the NEC served as the home court for another NBL team, the Hunter Pirates (formerly the Canberra Cannons before the team was moved to Singapore to become the Singapore Slingers after the 2005-06 NBL season). However one more NBL game was played between The Singapore Slingers & The New Zealand Breakers on 29 December 2006.
The Newcastle Show uses the centre for various displays and the showbag area. The stadium has also played host to some of Kostya Tszyu's early fights as an Australian-based fighter.
The Newcastle Entertainment Centre was built as a multi-purpose facility to host concerts, sporting events, exhibitions and functions.
The centre has the following capacities in its different concert modes:
Curtaining allows the adapting of the venues to suit more intimate modes for performers.
The centre has played host to concerts by many nationally and internationally renowned performers including John Denver, Tina Arena, Tones and I, Cher, Celine Dion, Jason Derulo, John Farnham, Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, Rhianna, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Pet Shop Boys, P!nk, Powderfinger, Cliff Richard, Silverchair, Taylor Swift, Lorde, Queens Of The Stone Age, Beastie Boys, Gang Of Youths, Jane's Addiction, The Smashing Pumpkins and The Wiggles.
