The scene in Cardiff

The Great Hall, inside Cardiff University Students' Union, has attracted touring bands since the 1970s and holds 1,600 on its own - linked with the Union's Taf and Y Plas rooms, it becomes a roughly 4,000-capacity superclub, one of the largest in Wales.

Depot, a 24,000 sq ft former warehouse on Curran Road, has been running events since 2015 - from electronic takeovers to its long-running Friday sell-out Bingo Lingo and a weekly Saturday street food social - and has built a reputation as the city's go-to for something less conventional than a standard club night.

Where it happens

Cathays, around the university, carries the student-heavy circuit; the warehouse district off Dumballs Road, a short walk from Cardiff Central, is Depot's own corner of the city.

How buying a ticket works, in practice

Every listing above is a real event. Each one links to where its tickets are sold: on On The Door when the promoter sells through us, or on the organiser’s own ticket page. When you buy here, the price you see is the price you pay, with no booking fee added at checkout, and your ticket is a QR code on your phone that you show at the door.
