Once home to aviation icon, Concorde, the legendary Brabazon Hangars are being transformed into the number one live destination for the West of England. The new 20,000 seat arena, operated by YTL Live, will be a new headline act for Bristol. Opening late 2028, we’ll be hosting the very best of music, comedy, sport and entertainment. This is no ordinary night out; every fan will enjoy unforgettable experiences at one of Europe's most ambitious new entertainment venues.
Aviva Arena is part of YTL Live, a world-class, year-round entertainment district featuring a state-of-the-art 20,000 capacity arena plus exhibition and conference centre. The development is expected to attract more than 1.4m visitors annually, generating more than £1 billion for the wider Bristol economy in its first decade of operation.
As the West of England’s first large-scale indoor arena, music lovers from Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset will no longer need to travel far to experience global events and talent.
With a capacity of 20,000, Aviva Arena will stand among the UK’s top-tier indoor arena’s — firmly establishing us as a key destination on Europe’s touring route.
Every fan can enjoy unforgettable experiences pre and post-show, with a mix of vibrant bars, lounges and restaurants, focusing on high quality, local food and drink.
Entertainment in First Class, providing the ultimate live music experience. Our premium offering includes Private Suites, Premium Lounges and Fine-dining Restaurants, all with access to some of the best seats in the house.
