Having invested heavily in the project, operators SSD Concerts has said it is delighted that it has secured the site, and plans to host the event throughout December 2019.

SSD Concerts managing director, Steve Davis, said: “The move to Newcastle has been in planning for some time now and we’re delighted to be able to offer stunning views

of both the Millennium and The Tyne Bridge.

“We were really pleased with how last year’s Christmas Tyne was received by the public and we knew we had to go again this year. We have taken feedback from last years

customers and had custom build handmade pods made especially which will be a huge step forward from last year.
