It's been a turbulent year for music fans in Bristol, after their hopes of having an arena built in the near future were dashed earlier this month.

Plans were in place for the city to finally have an arena on Temple Island, next to Temple Meads, but the city will now explore a site at Filton for its long awaited concert venue - which means waiting even longer.

Where will it be?

With no arena, and Bristol’s biggest concert venue - Colston Hall - closed for major refurbishment, this huge gig will be held in a different location for the city. There are a couple of places we think it’s likely to be held, but the question is, will it be indoors?
