Since Queen Elizabeth II opened the building in 1991,a rich variety of events that have become enshrined in the venue’s DNA has become unrivalled. In our 34 years, we have welcomed music and comedy royalty including Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre, Oasis, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Def Leppard, Pulp, to name a few.
In 2025, we are proud to be hosting global superstars such as Paul Smith, Peter Kay, Torvill and Dean along with the most decorated ice hockey team and Grand Slam Winners, our very own Sheffield Steelers.
The main auditorium is the ultimate blank canvas which means we don't just host gigs, but also shows and events such as BBC, Hungry Bear and MGM’s Gladiators, BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year, the MOBO’s, the European Figure Skating Championships and the International Indian Film Academy Awards also known as the Bollywood Oscar’s.
