RIO KOSTA live in Cardiff

Experience RIO KOSTA live on November 22nd

RIO KOSTA is scheduled to perform at the Utilita Arena Cardiff on November 22, 2026. The artist’s music blends elements of drill, UK garage, and Afrobeats, often characterized by its energetic rhythms, distinctive vocal delivery and lyrical content reflecting contemporary urban life. RIO KOSTA gained prominence in the early 2020s with a series of independently released singles and has since collaborated with established artists within the UK music scene.

The Utilita Arena Cardiff, formerly known as the Cardiff International Arena, opened in 1993. It is a multipurpose indoor arena and a significant venue for large-scale events in Wales. The arena has a seating capacity of approximately 7,500 – 15,000 depending on event configuration. Throughout its history, it has hosted a diverse range of performances including concerts by internationally renowned musicians, sporting events like basketball and boxing matches, and family entertainment shows. It underwent a rebranding to Utilita Arena in 2018 following a sponsorship agreement with energy provider Utilita Energy. The venue is located within the Cardiff Bay area and forms part of the International Sports Village.
