AEG Presents to run Wolverhampton Civic Hall

Operator AEG Presents will manage the local authority venue when it reopens in 2022.

The company will work with developers on the final stages of the Grade II-listed building's transformation into a 3,500 seat venue.

Wolverhampton Council Leader Ian Brookfield said the Civic Hall is "an integral part of Wolverhampton’s entertainment and music heritage and an important part of our visitor economy".

"We believe – and this belief is shared by AEG Presents – that it has the potential to become a recognised venue not just regionally and nationally, but also internationally."
