The Ultimate Spot for Pre-and Post-Gig Drinks This Summer
BOOM BATTLE BAR Cardiff is turning up the volume this summer, with an incredible line-up of live music events taking over the city. From outdoor shows at Cardiff Castle, to major gigs at the Principality Stadium, to the high-energy Blackweir Live Summer Series, the capital is buzzing with sound and atmosphere.
If you’re heading to see acts like Oasis, Kendrick Lamar, or Stereophonics, you’ll want somewhere that keeps the energy high before and after the music. That place is BOOM BATTLE BAR Cardiff… where the party doesn’t start or end with the stage.
A City Full of Music
Summer 2025 is shaping up to be one of Cardiff’s biggest ever. The iconic Principality Stadium will welcome global names like Oasis and Kendrick Lamar, while local heroes Stereophonics are set to bring the house down. Over at Cardiff Castle, the outdoor stage will host a run of atmospheric gigs under the summer sky. Meanwhile, Blackweir Live at Pontcanna Fields will see world renowned acts including Noah Kahan (June 27th), Kings of Leon (June 29th), Alanis Morissette (July 2nd), Slayer (July 3rd) and Stevie Wonder (July 9th) visit the capital.
Cardiff will be alive with music fans, and BOOM BATTLE BAR is perfectly placed to be part of the experience.
Why BOOM Is Built for Gigs
Pre-Gig Hype
Start your night the right way. Our cocktails pack a punch, our beer’s cold, our street food is tasty, and our vibe is high-energy from the moment you walk in. With quick service, bold drinks, and the kind of music that gets you moving, BOOM is the ideal warm-up act.
Game-Fuelled Fun
This isn’t just another bar. It’s a night out with axe throwing, AR darts, beer pong, and karaoke, perfect for getting into the spirit before the show or carrying on the good times once the main act wraps.
Post-Gig Afterparty
Don’t let the buzz fade once the encore ends. Whether you’re belting out your favourite setlist in a karaoke booth or replaying the best bits over a round of cocktails, BOOM is where you come to keep the night alive.
The Perfect Location
We’re a short walk from all of Cardiff’s major music venues Cardiff Castle, Principality Stadium, and Pontcanna Fields. That means no taxis, no stress, and no leaving the city centre. Just walk out of the gig and straight into the next chapter of your night.
Make It a Night to Remember
Whether you’re in town for a headline stadium act or soaking up live music in a castle courtyard, BOOM BATTLE BAR Cardiff is ready to bring the energy before and after the show. Expect bold flavours, electric games, and a crowd that’s always up for a good time.
This summer, make BOOM your go-to gig companion. Cardiff’s music scene is turning up – and so are we.
