[4] Aberdeen Music Hall was the scene of a suffragette activist incident in December 1907,[5] when protesters disrupted a visit from the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Henry Asquith.

[7][8] It also compromised Caroline Phillips' position as honorary secretary of the Aberdeen branch of the Women's Social and Political Union due to her opposition to this protest[8] – she was ultimately dismissed in 1909.

[7] Another incident occurred in 1912 when women hid with 'explosives' which turned out to be toy guns, when then Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd George was due to speak.

[9] There is a bronze plaque inside the lobby of the Music Hall, bearing the names of all those from Aberdeen who served in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939).

Some notable artists who have performed at the Music Hall include David Bowie, Emeli Sandé, Led Zeppelin, Bullet for My Valentine, Placebo, Morrissey, Teenage Fanclub, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.
