Our Plans
Our vision
Our vision is to put Bristol on the world stage for live music and entertainment.
No.1 venue for the south west
YTL Arena Bristol will be the first large scale indoor arena and exhibition centre in the region.
One arena, three spaces
Our world-class entertainment complex will have interlinking facilities for live music, sport, exhibitions, conferences, TV and film, and much more.
Must place venue
At a capacity of 17,000, we’ll be attracting top global events to Bristol. We’ll be a key player in the UK tour route, alongside London, Manchester and Glasgow.
Festival hall
The East Hangar will offer 11,000sqm of pillarless floorspace and 20m of floor to ceiling height, creating limitless opportunities for hosting first-class events, exhibitions and more.
The hub
The West Hangar is a leisure and community space, providing year-round attractions and activities for the whole family to enjoy.
This is no ordinary night out
Every fan will enjoy unforgettable experiences pre and post show, with a mix of vibrant bars, lounges and restaurants, focusing on high quality, local food and drink.
INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE
Sustainability is centre stage
We are making it our goal to create the most sustainable arena in Europe, and to be carbon neutral from day one, operating without the use of fossil fuels.

We will create 500 new jobs with a living wage starting salary, taking music into the community for the greater good, and building a venue accessible to all.
A connected arena for all
We’re investing £3.1m in the local transport infrastructure to support public transport and drive down car dependency.
The best of the west
We’ll be working in partnership with local businesses to source 75% of our products locally, giving you a real taste of what the South West has to offer.
"We're committed to building an arena for the South West and putting Bristol on the world stage"
