Planning permission for the indoor music arena for Cardiff bay is set to go before planning committee today

2026 ?
Ff sake
If Bristol build one before us then that will be first on the big gig circuit and get established
I read that the capacity is going to be reduced which isn't a bad thing
15000 seems a bit ambitious
Big arenas in the UK from Scotland down ....
Glasgow
Newcastle
Leeds
Sheffield
Manchester
Liverpool
Nottingham
Birmingham
London
Then Cardiff , if its built ?
That's a huge arc of Swansea, Cardiff , Newport , Valleys , Bristol , Bath , Gloucester , Swindon, Exeter
I suppose Southampton , Portsmouth etc would come under Brighton Arena
So it's between us and the wurzels
I would think if or when Bristol build anything then the extra hour to us will be a factor
This has taken years
Bristol's is scheduled to open in late 2025 or early 2026 with a capacity of 19k.
It was going to be built in the city centre (having been first announced in 2003) but is now being built on the old Filton airfield, North of the city.
The new station to serve it is due to open later in 2026 (perhaps). Getting to and from the venue is going to be a real issue, but I guess it would be to some extent wherever a venue of that size is.
Anyone know where down the bay it will be built? Seems crowded already
By the Council building end.
Modern, mixed-use development including food and leisure amenities, replacing the Red Dragon Centre.

The Red Dragon site I believe

People near there should make a decent wedge with Airbnb, you could charge £100 a night probably.
The plans look quite good to be fair, but watch the video they are trying to limit car parking and make everyone use public transport.
I think 15500 is ridiculous
Cardiff CIA is an awful venue and deffo needs replacing but up to 10000 ish seems sensible
Same size as arenas in Nottingham, Liverpool
If Bristol is building an enormous arena then it makes sense to build something far more realistic
If a 10000 all seated arena was in place now then Cardiff would be deffo on the touring circuit but this has come too late and I think it's going to be too big
