When Robbie Williams arrives in Newcastle this November, thousands of fans will descend on the city for one huge night at McDonald Jones Stadium.

But if you're making the trip, why stop at the concert?

Swap the late-night dash home for a Newcastle getaway and discover everything waiting beyond the stadium gates. Think ocean baths, beach walks, boutique shopping, long lunches, local breweries and unforgettable coastal views.

Here are 12 ways to make the most of your Robbie Williams trip and experience the best of Newcastle while you're here.

Before you plan anything else, book the accommodation.

A Robbie Williams concert is the perfect excuse for a Newcastle getaway. Check into a harbour-view hotel, beachside stay or city retreat and make the most of everything the city has to offer beyond the stadium.

Trust us, your future self will be saying Thank You Darlin'.

Looking for a little Millennium magic before the show? Newcastle's famous ocean baths are the perfect place to begin your visit.

Take a refreshing swim at Newcastle Ocean Baths or soak up the coastal views at Merewether Ocean Baths before the excitement of the evening begins.

Concert day deserves more than a quick bite.

Settle in for a leisurely lunch overlooking the harbour, sample fresh local seafood or book a table at one of Newcastle's acclaimed restaurants. Gather your friends, raise a glass and get ready for a night you'll remember with No Regrets.

Dining Options

Concert tickets aren't the only thing worth splurging on.

Spend some time exploring Newcastle's boutique shopping precincts, where independent fashion stores, local designers and specialty retailers make it easy to find something unique. Whether it's a new outfit for the concert or a little something for yourself, consider it the perfect pre-show warm-up.

Newcastle's craft beer scene is thriving, making it easy to kick-start the celebrations before the concert. Round up your mates, sample a local brew and bring a little Rock DJ energy to the afternoon before heading stadium-side.

When the final notes of Angels ring out across the stadium, the night doesn't have to end.

Newcastle's bars, live music venues and late-night spots are the perfect place to relive your favourite moments from the concert and share stories from an unforgettable evening.

Tuesday night you are going to want to put Coal and Cedar and The Underground at the top of the Must Do list. 

You may not feel quite as Strong the morning after a stadium concert, but Newcastle's coastline has a way of fixing that.

Grab a coffee, head to the beach and watch the sun rise over the Pacific Ocean. It's one of the city's simplest and most memorable experiences.

Newcastle's café culture is reason enough to stay the night.

Craving a classic smashed avo on sourdough, fresh and fruity acai bowls, house-made granola with seasonal accoutrement, or a hearty big breakfast to fuel your day - Newy's got you covered. 

Follow the Bathers Way, take in the views from the Newcastle Memorial Walk or simply find a spot along the coastline to watch the waves roll in.

With more than 30kms of stunning coastline to explore, you'll quickly discover there's more to Newcastle than just a concert.

Robbie might be bringing the energy, but Newcastle's nature side is just as worth exploring.

With bushland trails, peaceful nature reserves and native wildlife around every corner, it's easy to swap stadium crowds for fresh air and open space. Wander through Blackbutt Reserve, take a scenic walk through Glenrock State Conservation Area or simply soak up the outdoors while exploring the city's greener side.

It's the kind of experience that makes extending your stay feel like a very good idea.

Set sail on a harbour cruise, uncover the city's colourful past on a guided walking tour, discover hidden corners you might otherwise miss or follow your tastebuds on a food-focused experience.

Whatever you're into, a tour is a great way to see a different side of Newcastle and turn your concert trip into something even more memorable. After all, you've come this far. You may as well dive a little deeper.

Tour Options
