Halloween In Concert Brings Spooky Hits to O2 City Hall Newcastle

Halloween In Concert arrives at O2 City Hall Newcastle on Friday 30 October 2026, with a live band and cast turning the venue into an evening of music drawn from the darker side of pop and rock. Doors are advertised for 6.30pm and the show for 7.30pm. This is a concert production built around Halloween songs and theatrical presentation rather than a screening or a costume-only club night, so the music is the centre of the booking.

The programme named for Newcastle includes “Monster Mash”, “Highway to Hell”, “The Time Warp”, “Running Up That Hill”, “Bat Out of Hell”, “She Wolf” and “Thriller”. Those selections cover a wide range of sounds, from the rock of AC/DC and Meat Loaf to pop, film-associated favourites and Kate Bush’s theatrical songwriting. A show moving between those songs needs a flexible band and strong vocal performances, especially when the source recordings have such different musical characters.

Visual effects and stage production are also part of the advertised concert. Instead of treating Halloween as a reason to string together recordings from a playlist, the cast and live musicians will perform the material on stage, supported by a visual design intended for the occasion. That distinction is useful for anyone deciding between this event and a dance night elsewhere in Newcastle: the City Hall date has a fixed concert start and a staged performance to watch.

The timing gives the show its own place in the Halloween weekend, arriving on the Friday before 31 October. It’s also a chance for people who enjoy rock and pop tribute productions to hear several artists’ songs in one programme without committing to a tribute to just one band. The full sequence, cast members and any additional numbers have not been announced in the current venue information, so don’t assume a particular running order.
