The concert on April 24th, 2027 will take place at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead. This venue represents a significant investment in the cultural landscape of the North East of England. Opened in January 2024, it consolidated Hall One – formerly The Sage Gateshead – with the adjacent Northern Stage, creating a unified complex dedicated to music and performing arts.

The Glasshouse features two primary concert halls: Hall One, known for its exceptional acoustics and capacity of approximately 1,900, and Hall Two, a more intimate space suitable for chamber music and smaller ensembles. The project involved substantial refurbishment and expansion to enhance accessibility and artistic capabilities. It aims to be a national resource for musical performance, education and collaboration, hosting a diverse range of artists and genres.
