The Sage is a forthcoming indoor arena and conference centre in Gateshead, United Kingdom due to open in phases between 2025 and 2027.[3] The site is located between The Glasshouse and BALTIC centres on Gateshead Quayside.[4]

The arena is being built to replace the nearby 11,000 capacity Utilita Arena Newcastle that was originally opened in 1995.[2]
