@Source: walesonline.co.uk
Huge fees are being charged for accommodation at hotels, hostels and apartments in Cardiff after Metallica announced they would play at the Principality Stadium next year. The legendary rock band will bring their M72 World Tour to the home of Welsh rugby on Sunday, June 28, 2026. Following the big announcement, some venues located close to the stadium have already set eye-watering rates, should you wish to stay there. We searched for available locations within 300 yards of the stadium, based on the cost of two adults. On Booking.com, the Radisson Blu Hotel in Cardiff is currently charging a £600 rate for a standard room, whilst a three-bedroom apartment at Taff Penfro Cardiff Apartment will set you back £1,140.

To reserve a bunk bed in a large mixed dormitory room at BunkHouse, located 200 yards away, it will cost you £324, or £162 per person. If you choose to stay three miles from the venue, rates get cheaper, including the Glendale Hotel in Penarth, which is charging £125 a night for a double room. It will cost £200 to book a one-bedroom apartment at Greenfield Studio. There is still some hope of a more affordable rate for those attending the gig, however. Rooms at leading UK hoteliers, Marriott, Holiday Inn, Premier Inn and Travelodge, are so far not available to book for the date of the gig. Hilton said rooms were sold out in Cardiff on the night. Metallica's world tour itinerary will continue with their revered No Repeat Weekend tradition, in which each night of the two-show stands will feature entirely different setlists and support line-ups. The band will begin their world tour in Athens in Greece, before heading to Bucharest in Romania and travelling to Chorzów in Poland, Frankfurt in Germany and other European cities. Here in the UK, the band will be heading to Glasgow, Cardiff and London. The band performed in the Welsh capital's former Cardiff International Arena in October, 1996. As per usual, a share of the proceeds from each ticket sold will be donated to local charities through the band's All Within My Hands foundation. Presale tickets will go on sale for the event on Thursday, May 29, while general onsale tickets will go on sale the following day at 10am on Friday, May 30. Tickets will be available through Live Nation, which you can find out more about here , and Ticketmaster, which you can check out here . But fan club members will get a head start with pre-sale starting from 11am on Tuesday, May 27, which you can find out more about here .
