its hardly the arena its being described as but its a perfect size for a lot of bands that don't like playing the 10000 seater enormo domes like the NEC ........
Cardiff is building one of those and for me it will be great to be able to see bands like TOOL etc that have a huge stage show and are one of the worlds biggest rock bands , also your take that type nonsense will have somewhere in the city to play
I am amazed that apart from the university Cardiff has no decent venues
The tramshed is good but has a capacity of just 1000
Newport has the Newport Centre , a 2000 plus standing and seating venue where over the years I have seen slayer , pantera , Alice in Chains etc
These sort of bands were never going to play a place like Cardiff University or The Tramshed
The Fall would have done , at a push
So we have the ridiculous situation where we have Swansea and Newport having decent , mid sized venues and music fans have to travel to either of these two cities or even to Bristol to see a band ........unless its at a small venue
Humbug
