What's On in Cardiff
Sunday 28 June 2026
Cardiff is turning the volume up to eleven this Sunday, with a day that swings from the euphoric precision of K-Pop to the seismic thunder of Metallica — with something quietly electric happening in a garden after dark, too. Whatever your tribe, whatever your tempo, the city has a stage waiting for you. Pull on your boots, charge your phone, and get out there.
Highlights
K-Pop Live | Tiger Yard, Cardiff — Tiger Yard kicks off the day at 11:30am with a celebration of one of the most visually dazzling and passionately devoted genres on the planet. Expect tight choreography, soaring harmonies, and a crowd that knows every word and every move — the kind of communal joy that reminds you why live music exists. Tickets are priced at £15–£25, making this one of the most accessible doors open in the city today.
Metallica: M72 World Tour — Principality Stadium becomes a cathedral of riffs at 5:00pm as Metallica roll into Cardiff on their era-defining M72 World Tour — one of the biggest live spectacles on earth right now. The scale of it is almost difficult to comprehend: 70,000-plus people, a stage production that defies gravity, and a setlist forged over four decades of heavy metal mastery. Check the website for tickets, and do not sit this one out if you have any love at all for music played loud and meant.
EVERYWHERE AT ONCE: Painkiller — As the stadium crowds disperse, something altogether more intimate is stirring at Paradise Garden from 7:00pm — EVERYWHERE AT ONCE brings Painkiller to a venue that sounds like it was designed for exactly this kind of after-dark atmosphere. Mysterious, charged, and clearly not interested in being easy to categorise, this is the kind of event that rewards the curious and the adventurous. Check the website for tickets and details, and consider it your late-night discovery of the summer.
