12. A-Listers Are Allergic To Cardiff Apparently
You'd think that living in a capital city would ensure that all the best entertainers head to Cardiff. That's definitely not the case, and a night out at the St. David's Hall this year will see you faced with the prospect of choosing between "Milton Jones and the Temple of Daft", Lulu, and Elvis Costello. The Motorpoint Arena fairs a little better, but even the best show there usually features someone you'll have forgotten existed (here's looking at you, Elton). It's a bit like how American TV shows almost always reach the UK weeks or months late. Just look at who's playing in London's O2 Arena this week and take solace in the fact that you can save a two hour train journey by waiting around three years to see them in Cardiff.
