  1. Swansea arena nears million milestone as star acts line up

    Packed crowds and star power

    Figures released this week show the arena has already drawn over 245,000 visits in 2025 alone, with audiences flocking to see the likes of the Manic Street Preachers, Wet Wet Wet, John Bishop, Riverdance and even a nostalgic night with The Fast Show.

    The venue, developed by Swansea Council and part‑funded by the Swansea Bay City Deal, is run by ATG Entertainment. As well as concerts, it has become a hub for conferences, banquets, graduations and creative learning events.

    What’s next

    The line‑up for 2026 is already turning heads. Kaiser Chiefs, 10cc and Russell Howard are all booked, while UB40 and Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals will bring more variety to the stage.

    But the biggest buzz surrounds Mamma Mia, which lands in January with 15 performances and the highest predicted ticket sales for any single show at the arena to date. Fans of Gavin & Stacey will also get their fix when James Corden and Ruth Jones appear in When Gavin Met Stacey, sharing behind‑the‑scenes secrets from Barry Island to Billericay.

    Civic pride

    Cllr Rob Stewart, Swansea Council Leader, said:

    “The Swansea Building Society Arena has quickly established itself as one of the city’s most significant cultural and economic assets. Since opening, it has played a vital role in transforming the Copr Bay district into a vibrant destination, drawing audiences from across Wales and beyond.”

    He added that the arena has strengthened Swansea’s reputation as a home for major touring acts while also providing a platform for local artists and community events.

    Venue director’s view

    Matt Blackhouse, Venue Director, said:

    “Since joining the arena team in June this year, it’s been great to see the variety of shows and events we’ve hosted — from three sold‑out nights with Bob Dylan to multi‑day conferences and banquets for over 600 people. With plenty more acts still to be announced, we’re excited to continue bringing top class entertainment to the region and putting Swansea firmly on the map.”

    From opening night to cultural hub

    Since its launch in March 2022, the arena has been hailed as a catalyst for Copr Bay’s regeneration, shortlisted for architecture awards and praised as a test bed for digital innovation. With visitor numbers now closing in on the million mark, the venue is proving to be both a cultural powerhouse and an economic boost for the city.

  2. Going to see a #KaiserChiefs 20th anniversary show next week, and thought I'd check out some of their new stuff. Like most Elder Millennials I was pretty obsessed 2005-2010, then kind of tuned out.

    I'm here to tell you Kaiser Chief's Easy Eighth Album is REALLY GOOD!

    It's poppy and dancey, like an early Arctic Monkeys album (before they got boring and started taking themselves way too seriously). Lots of songs about being lads and council estates. 👍👍👍

  5. If you live in #Hackney and *really* like either #TheSmiths, #Blur, #TheCranberries, #KaiserChiefs, #Babyshambles, #Courteeners, #StephenDuffy, The mighty lemon drops, #Triffids, #Pretenders, #Sleeper, #Suede, #NewOrder or #TheZutons then you should email your councillors to have a highway named Stephen Street Street after the producer of the above acts.
    It would both recognise an artist who was born in Hackney according to Wikipedia, as well as obviously being funny, and also increase tourism

    Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson says unfortunately he thinks there’s a high chance of further disorder from far-right groups over the weekend

  12. “Blackpool feels like our spiritual home,” declared Wilson. If that was the case then tonight’s gig was a homecoming no one will forget in a hurry.

    I enjoy nearly all of their following albums but this one is far more pop-punk and helps get the day going.
