Cardiff punches above its weight through one building: the national stadium in the city centre, where rugby internationals produce an atmosphere famous across the sport and the biggest concert tours play to vast crowds. Around it, the city's theatres and arena host touring shows, and matchdays turn the whole compact centre into the event.

Rugby weekends are the premium — the stadium sits in the middle of town and the city fills around it, so book early. The rest of the calendar prices gently by capital-city standards, and the venue cluster is walkable from the centre.

We found at least 31 upcoming events in Cardiff, with tickets from $68.
