The move would see a charge applied to concerts at the 12,000 capacity area, with a figure of £1 raising hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.
Councillors across parties at the council backed the Stadium Levy motion by the Greens.

The party said upcoming sold-out gigs by Kylie Minogue, Sam Fender, Olly Murs, comedian Peter Kay, Strictly Come Dancing and the WWE would raise £160,000 alone.
Christy Mearns, Green councillor, proposed the levy on behalf of the Greens.
Councillor Mearns said: “I am delighted to have received cross-party support for the motion today, which will move forward a plan for a Stadium Levy to be implemented in Glasgow.
“This could help to raise much-needed revenue for Glasgow’s grassroots venues which are under threat, yet which are absolutely vital to our city’s musical success, national economy and citizens’ well-being.”
The cash will be used to support small venues ensuring new and emerging artists can have somewhere to play.

Mearns added: “Grassroots venues support new artists to hone their craft, develop followings and nurture local subcultures; without them it’s very possible we wouldn’t have many of the big names who started out in exactly these spaces.
“The Night Time Industries Association has recently issued a stark warning that all nightclubs could be lost by 2030 without wide and concerted efforts. I am pleased that Glasgow can hopefully lead the way in actually making this levy happen.”
The Greens nationally support the plan.
Scottish Green MSP for Glasgow, Patrick Harvie, said: “It is great that Glasgow’s councillors have given such strong support to a levy on mega-gigs. It is a small change that could make a big difference for our independent music venues and artists.
“Scotland’s arts sector and venues are a key part of Glasgow’s culture, from the jobs they deliver to the memories they create and the dreams they inspire.”
