Watford Colosseum is a landmark concert hall on Rickmansworth Road, Watford (WD17 3JN), in Hertfordshire. After a long closure it reopened on 29 August 2025 and is firmly back in business, with around 20 concerts booked across 2026-2027 — including David Gray (1 July 2026), Rumours of Fleetwood Mac (12 July 2026) and Jools Holland (6 November 2026). It's a fully staffed mid-to-large-scale touring venue, not a bring-your-own-PA grassroots room, programming rock, pop, soul, classical and comedy alongside tribute shows. A flagship Hertfordshire music house with in-house technical production.
