Cardiff's live calendar peaks in spring and summer when arena tours and outdoor festivals run, with a second autumn-to-Christmas wave of theatre and arena tours. Indoor venues like Motorpoint Arena Cardiff stay busy through the colder months.

Motorpoint Arena Cardiff is the headline arena/stadium for Cardiff, hosting the largest touring acts. Mid-size shows route through Motorpoint Arena Cardiff and Cardiff International Arena, with theatre and club shows spread across smaller rooms. See our /cardiff/concert-venues page for the full venue map with capacities and seating notes.

Cardiff's festival calendar mixes ticketed multi-day events with one-off outdoor shows — the lineup rotates year to year. See our /cardiff/music-festivals page for the live list of upcoming Cardiff festivals with dates, lineups and ticket links, refreshed every 6 hours from official feeds.

Event links on our Cardiff pages use available seller and event feeds. Prices show in £ where available, while on-sale times, seat maps and availability can change as sellers update their listings.

Cardiff gets a steady mix of regional touring acts plus occasional headline arena tours. Bigger tours often route through the closest major metro instead — set ticket alerts on artist pages so you catch Cardiff dates and nearby cities together as soon as they're announced.
