McDonald Jones Stadium

From edge-of-your-seat sporting moments to unforgettable live concerts, McDonald Jones Stadium is Newcastle’s ultimate entertainment arena. With a capacity of up to 30,000, it’s the proud home of the Newcastle Knights and Newcastle Jets, and regularly hosts national and international fixtures, including Supercross, Nitro Circus, and more.

In recent years, the stadium has evolved into a major live music destination, welcoming global icons like Elton John, Paul McCartney and P!NK to the Hunter Region for sold-out shows that bring the whole city to life.

For corporate functions, conferences or special celebrations, the McDonald Jones Stadium Function & Event Centre offers a unique venue with sweeping stadium views and flexible, modern event spaces.

Whether you’re in town to cheer on your team, attend a high-profile concert, or host a corporate event, Mercure Newcastle puts you in the perfect position. Just a 10-minute drive from the stadium, our centrally located hotel offers a relaxing retreat after an action-packed day.

Stay in the heart of Newcastle and enjoy spacious rooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, an outdoor pool, and friendly service that makes every visit feel like a win.
