Stage ‌‌‍City is a large events arena in the heart of Preston at 53 Tithebarn Street, with a capacity of up to 1,500 for concerts, corporate events and exhibitions. It hosts a steady stream of touring gigs and tribute shows — recent and upcoming bills include a Luke Combs UK country night, a Taylor Swift & Harry Styles tribute show seen on ITV's This Morning, and GirlyPop Live featuring pop tribute acts. With a box office and a full What's On programme, it is one of Preston's main mid-size live-entertainment spaces rather than a grassroots room. The original BYO-PA grassroots description understates a professionally run 1,500-cap arena.
