Newcastle University's student union is one of the city's largest and most popular live music venues, holding regular gigs and dance nights that are open to the general public, as well as fulfilling its students-only function on other nights. Live music is staged in the Bassment arena which has a capacity of 1,200. In recent years it has staged gigs by a number of well known guitar acts including Embrace, The Charlatans, Travis, and Primal Scream. The Bassment, and the building's other venue the excellent Global Cafe, also stage regular club nights which have in the past featured a range of different dance music and big-name DJ's. And during the annual Newcastle Comedy Festival, comedians also strut their stuff in the Global Cafe.
