Cheers to The Halls! Why revamped Wolverhampton venue has every reason to celebrate
The University of Wolverhampton at The Halls is celebrating its one-year anniversary this weekend.
Starting with a concert by Blur on May 26 last year, over 200,000 tickets have been sold across 133 events including global artists like Kaiser Chiefs, McFly, The Black Crowes, Liam Gallagher and Jack Whitehall as well as acts from across the West Midlands as well.
In the coming weeks, Nile Rodgers, The Cult, John Bishop, Status Quo and Jimmy Carr are set to appear.
The Grade II listed building, which includes the adjacent Wulfrun Hall, was given a multi-million pound refurbishment by the City of Wolverhampton Council and world-leading live entertainment company AEG Presents before re-opening. In March the venue announced a tie-in with The University of Wolverhampton who took over the naming rights.
