Milton Keynes Bowl

Milton Keynes Bowl is one of the UK’s most iconic open-air concert venues. Originally developed in the late 1970s on a former clay pit site, the Bowl has evolved into a major destination for large-scale live music events. With a grass amphitheatre and minimal infrastructure, it offers a unique festival-style experience that has attracted some of the world’s biggest artists.

Over the years, the Bowl has been the backdrop for legendary performances, from Queen’s 1982 concert to Radiohead's iconic 1995 appearance. Its historic standing and raw, open layout continue to make it a beloved fixture for fans and artists alike.
