Cardiff Events: Concerts, Rugby & Castle Shows

Cardiff's calendar runs mainly on music, with our listings tracking 69 concerts against 40 sporting fixtures, spread across the city's arenas, stadiums and historic castle grounds.

Cardiff International Arena is the busiest venue in our data, hosting the bulk of the city's touring concerts. Principality Stadium, home to the Welsh national rugby team and a regular concert host in its own right, and Cardiff City Stadium cover the sport side, while Cardiff Castle hosts outdoor concerts and events against a genuinely historic backdrop right in the city centre. New Theatre Cardiff rounds out the touring drama and pantomime scene.

Few cities can host a concert inside a medieval castle and a rugby international in the same week — Cardiff's venues cover an unusually wide range for its size.
