Live Music For Everyone
St. David’s Hall is a great place to enjoy classical music. It is famous for hosting the Welsh Proms and the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition.

If you prefer more modern music, the Motorpoint Arena or the Principality Stadium are great places to watch rock or pop concerts.
