Listing notesBlackweir Fields is the large open-air events field in the northern reaches of Bute Park, Cardiff, a 21,000 sq m council-run site that hosts rugby, football and cricket for most of the year and becomes the city's biggest concert ground each summer. It is home to the Blackweir Live series, which in 2026 brought The Cure (24 June), Teddy Swims (26 June), Lewis Capaldi (30 June and 1 July) and Pitbull (4 July) to the park, with full temporary staging and production built in for each show and the promoters already signing people up for 2027. A short walk from Cardiff Castle and the university, it is a high-capacity festival-style green-field site rather than a year-round live room: artists play to tens of thousands under the open sky, not in a bar.
