Coventry Books Hundreds of Concerts and Festivals Through 2026 — Storyblocks

Coventry has approximately 239-249 upcoming live music events, concerts and festivals scheduled for 2026 and beyond, with tickets available through Songkick and other platforms. This volume of activity is giving residents concrete options for planning nights out at established local spots.

Venues and scheduled performances

Key venues include HMV Empire Coventry, which is set to host Discharge on 16 January and PiL - Public Image Ltd on 10 January. Warwick Arts Centre offers a 1,450-seat concert hall along with smaller Studio gigs, while The Tin Music and Arts provides additional programming. The annual Godiva Festival continues to bring thousands of live music lovers into the city centre for sets spanning rock to indie. Northern Live - Do I Love You is listed for 7 February at The Albany Theatre.

Smaller venues and regular nights

Live music also takes place in pubs and smaller venues such as The Arches, Fargo Village/The Box with its monthly Jazz Jam, Golden Cross on open mic Thursdays, and Milsy's on Fridays and Saturdays. These options sit alongside the larger announced dates and give regular opportunities without requiring advance ticket purchases for major acts.

The listings on Songkick and related sites provide the main reference point for tracking availability. Residents can check those platforms directly for updates on the listed events at HMV Empire Coventry, Warwick Arts Centre and the other named locations.
