Sean Paul concert: Everything you need to know
Thousands of music fans will descend on Coventry Building Society Arena when reggae sensation Sean Paul takes to the stage.
Around 7,000 fans are expected to pack out the Indoor Arena on Tuesday, July 9, for the Jamaican dancehall star’s first concert in the city since 2018.
The show promises to be something of a ‘homecoming’ for Sean Paul whose grandmother was born in Coventry and used to live in Rugby, Warwickshire, where he still has some extended family.
Paul Michael, Managing Director of Coventry Building Society Arena, said: “Sean Paul is one of the most successful and instantly recognisable reggae stars on the planet so to have him perform at our venue is a massive deal for us.
“We’re all looking forward to a hit-packed set and what will be a fantastic night of entertainment at Coventry Building Society Arena.”
