Not to be overshadowed, the 7,500-capacity Utilita Arena (formerly the Motorpoint Arena), on the other side of the city, will also be drawing its fair share of music fans, with concerts by Girls Aloud, Bryan Adams and Liam Gallagher all scheduled. Meanwhile, in Cardiff Bay, the outdoor stage at Alexandra Head, serenely located on the area’s waterside barrage complex, will welcome revolutionary 80s outfit New Order and dance-pop powerhouse Becky Hill, with the open-air venue offering plenty of space for revellers to dance in the summer sunshine.
Of course, live music isn’t just about the big names, and many of Cardiff’s smaller music venues will be adding to the summer soiree with gigs by up-and-coming artists and concerts focused on alternative genres. Legendary Cardiff nightclub Clwb Ifor Bach is the spot for rock and indie bands, with Home Counties, Coach Party and Slow Pulp all lined up to perform, while the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama will be putting on spectacles that strike a more tranquil tone, with its Steinway International Piano Series bringing some of the best ivory ticklers from around the globe to Cardiff.
