Concerts and clubbing in Cardiff

Among the best-known upcoming events in Cardiff over the next months, the focus is clearly on concerts and a few live sets that stand out for local audiences. If you are looking for concerts Cardiff or even the occasional clubbing Cardiff listing, this season is more about live music than nightlife, but it still covers a wide range of styles. Notable dates include Gurriers at The Globe, where the Dublin band presents its album launch show in September, and Lauren Auder at The Louisiana, which brings a more artful pop setting later that month. Also worth noting are Freya Ridings at Bristol Beacon and Joe Jackson’s Hope and Fury Tour 2026 at Bristol Beacon, alongside Sixpence None The Richer at Thekla for a set built around familiar songs. For a rougher edge, Thee Sinseers at Strange Brew, HAAL at The Lanes, Stornoway: Signing at Rough Trade Bristol, Split Dogs: Signing at Rough Trade Bristol and Opal Mag, Winter Gardens at The Lanes round out a varied list of events in Cardiff.
