“We’re incredibly excited to be welcoming Bob Dylan to Coventry and our venue later this year. Over the last 20 years, we have hosted some of the biggest names in music, but it doesn’t get any more iconic and legendary than Bob Dylan. The show continues the expansion of our live events programme and we’re sure it will be another unforgettable night in our Indoor Arena.”

This is a rare opportunity to witness one of the most influential musicians of all time, as Dylan continues to add to his unparalleled legacy. The 2020 release of Rough and Rowdy Ways received critical acclaim and reinforced Dylan’s continued relevance and creativity in modern music.

The city’s got a proper sense of community which my Nan has always told me about, and the fans, especially the Sky Blue Army, are just next level. I’ve been to loads of games and you can feel the pride in every chant and song as we sing the lads to victory. It’s more than football, it’s family, it’s passion, it’s Coventry! With that in mind I felt it right to give the city that has given me so much the chance to come and join me at the Coventry Building Society Arena for a full live show and production run through of all your favourite songs and some new ones before the start of the UK tour in September. Coventry, let’s do this PUSB”

On 13th March 2024, Cameron Slater passed away peacefully in his sleep aged just 23 years. After a normal day at work and a game of darts with his friends, Cameron went to bed as normal, like he did every other night. Only he never woke up.

A loving son, a devoted brother, an adoring boyfriend, and a loyal friend to so many.

Cameron’s family have since set up a memorial fund to help CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) with the aim of funding a screening for young people within the local community.

CRY helps reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death through awareness, screening and research as well as supporting affected families.

On Saturday 7th June 2025, Cameron’s family have arranged a Charity Gala Dinner to help towards the costs of the screening day. More information for this can be found in links above.

The enduring music of popstar Whitney Houston will be brought to life at a greatest hits tribute show in Coventry.

Queen Of The Night – A Tribute to Whitney Houston is a celebration of the life and back-catalogue of one of the most talented singers of all time.

After selling 100,000 tickets last year, packing out Royal Albert Hall and The London Palladium along the way, Queen Of The Night will return in 2025 for a 10th anniversary tour that will stop at Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday, March 29.

Singer and self-confessed Whitney worshipper Adenike Adewale, a semi-finalist on The Voice UK in 2021, will perform from a remarkable repertoire that includes I Wanna Dance With Somebody, One Moment In Time, I’m Every Woman, I Will Always Love You, Saving All My Love and more.

A shy, quiet child who just loved music, Adenike honed her amazing vocal range in her bedroom listening to powerhouse performers like Whitney before going on to sing in school and university choirs.

Now she’s centre stage in an electrifying production, complete with a full live band and captivating choreography, that is paying the ultimate tribute to the one and only queen of the night.

*Please note that Whitney – Queen of the Night is a tribute production and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the Whitney Houston Estate.
