Audacity (free from Downloads) has Noise Removal under Effects. What you do is select a part of the recording that is ONLY noise, and it compares that to the rest of recording and removes what it thinks is noise. Sometimes it improves things; sometimes it doesn't. It depends on if you have a part of the recording that's pure noise.

If you're talking about crowd noise: you can't remove it if the noise is made at the same time of the music.

If the noise is only in-between songs: you can try to lower the level of the noise (in order to make it less annoying) by removing gain or limiting.

The initial question was about a lecture. Since a lecture is speech, it's within a narrow frequency range. A noise removal effect might help to remove sound that's not in that range.

Another way to do it would be to use EQ to bring out whatever frequency the lecturer's voice uses, or use filtering if you can figure out what pitch/frequency the lecture uses.
