Over 50,000 visitors have already attended performances, conferences and graduations at Swansea Arena.
The arena, which first opened in March this year, is one part of the £135m Copr Bay district developed by Swansea Council.
Run by Ambassador Theatre Group, stars who have now taken to the stage at the 3,500-capacity venue include Alice Cooper and The Cult, John Bishop and Royal Blood.
Next up are Elvis Costello and The Imposters, who’ll be performing on Monday evening (June 20), and Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse, who’s there on Friday June 24.
Tickets for both these performances are still available by visiting the arena website.
Cllr Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration and Tourism, said: “At the heart of our new Copr Bay district, the arena has been extremely popular since first opening in the spring.
“Combining with the coastal park and other new facilities, it’s generated a new destination for Swansea people and visitors, while also creating jobs for local people and giving local businesses a boost.
“It’s a key part of our on-going regeneration of Swansea into one of the UK’s best places to live, work, study and visit.”
The Copr Bay district is being development managed by RivingtonHark, with the arena part-funded by the Swansea Bay City Deal.
Other performances confirmed for the arena in the coming months include The Kaiser Chiefs, Alan Carr, kids’ dinosaur show Jurassic Live, Corey Taylor, Jersey Boys and 90s Baby Pop.
