Ticket holders will have their own viewing areas which will be located two metres apart, to stay in line with measures due to Covid-19. There will be one-way access to toilets and food and drink will also be able to be pre-ordered.
SSD Concerts, alongside the organisers of Newcastle's This Is Tomorrow Festival, are behind the venue.

He added there will be several "high-profile" artists being announced.
News of the venue comes after a series of UK drive-in shows and socially distanced events in Northern Ireland were announced. Drive-in raves also took place in Germany in May.
