Mayfair Ballroom, Dance and concert venue in Newcastle upon Tyne, England
The Mayfair Ballroom contained an oblong room with a stage along one wall and a balcony circling the space for 1,500 attendees.
Opening in September 1961 under Mecca organisation management, the venue operated until its demolition in 1999 to make space for The Gate entertainment complex.
Led Zeppelin performed their first UK show at the Mayfair in October 1968, marking the beginning of numerous performances by major bands including Pink Floyd and U2.
The ballroom functioned as a multipurpose venue, hosting formal dance nights with resident orchestras, corporate events, concerts, disco evenings, and rave gatherings.
Free's final UK performance took place at the Mayfair in October 1972, where guitarist Paul Kossoff broke his Les Paul guitar during an emotional last show.
