Concert or Sporting Event Venue

Seating capacity for 6,000 and a proven track record of huge attendance figures, GCCEC ticks every box for concert and sporting events.

The catalogue of artists and bands who have performed at GCCEC reads like a who’s who of the entertainment world, including Mariah Carey, Kings of Leon, Rihanna, Powderfinger, Pink, 50 Cent and Billy Connolly, to name just a few. 

GCCEC’s arena is a spectacular venue for sporting events, with flexible floor-space and impressive acoustics. Every seat has a great view so no-one misses a moment of the action. Audiences have cheered on competitors in the Commonwealth Games, roared with excitement at the monster trucks, screamed with every goal at the Netball Championships, and jam-packed the arena for ice-skating, cheerleading and boxing.
