Gigs, concerts and festivals you can easily get to from Coventry this summer!

Hi!

I’m Ash, an Electrical and Electronic Engineering student here in Coventry. You might have read my last blog about Coventry’s Motofest 2017? Hopefully it made you want to attend next year. And hopefully I can inspire you to experience some more of student life here in Coventry with this blog!

One of the best things about Coventry’s location in the UK is that it is so close to other big cities. Birmingham and London, for example, are so easily accessible, and will play host to various artists throughout the summer. Here’s a list of upcoming summer concerts that fit every music taste and are happening close to home, at prices that won’t break the bank!

1. Blink 182

Rock, Thursday 20th July, O2 Arena, London, tickets from £29.95

2. Tramlines Festival

Featuring The Libertines, Metronomy and more, Friday July 21st, various venues across Sheffield, tickets from £30

3. Star Shaped Festival

August 2017

With festivals happening up and down the country, thousands upon thousands of people will be pitching their tents, ready to hear their favourite artists on the big stages.

Practically every weekend in August there is a festival or gig happening somewhere, so there is no problem with lack of choice. And while you’ll need to venture a little further out from Cov for many of them, it’s worth knowing what’s out there.

See if any of the lineups tickle your fancy and get ready to pack your camping gear!
