The Glasshouse Tour
Discover where music lives and grows, inside out.
A proper nosey behind the scenes.
Sit where Sam Fender gathered his thoughts. Follow Sting’s walk to the stage. Stand inside world-class concert halls when they’re wonderfully empty.
Go beyond the stage doors and discover why The Glasshouse looks, sounds and feels unlike anywhere else.
Led by the people who know every corner, every quirk and every story this place has to tell. The remarkable design that makes it possible, the acoustics that bring every note to life, and even a few surprising tales from the banks of the Tyne.
Arrive curious. Leave with a whole load of “I didn’t know that.”
