About Bradford Live

Bradford Live stands on the historic site of the former Bradford Odeon, reborn as a premier live music and events space. With a main auditorium configured for theatre seating and additional capacities in the Ballroom and Gaumont Room, the venue can host a wide range of performances—from big-name gigs to intimate gatherings. Located at 1 Thornton Road in central Bradford, the venue blends classic art-deco charm with modern production to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Whether you’re planning a headline concert, a corporate event, or a special show, we’ve got you covered with clear seating information, reliable ticket access, and practical details on directions, parking, and nearby places to stay and eat.

Bradford Live has hosted notable performances since reopening, including ABBA tribute and Bob Marley shows, with a 2025 operator shift to Trafalgar Entertainment and ongoing bookings into 2026 featuring bands and pop acts like Kaiser Chiefs. For travelers, Bradford city center offers convenient rail access via Bradford Interchange and Forster Square, plus a selection of nearby hotels such as Jurys Inn Bradford, The Bradford Hotel, and The Midland Hotel. We’ve pulled together practical tips to help you secure your seats smoothly and plan your day with confidence.
