University of Wolverhampton takes up naming rights of The Halls

Today, the University of Wolverhampton has entered into a five year naming rights agreement with The Halls, one of the most iconic live events venues in the Midlands, which has hosted world-class artists like Blur, McFly, Robert Plant and Leftfield since it re-opened in May last year.

The iconic venue, which will now be known as University of Wolverhampton at The Halls, sits at the heart of Wolverhampton’s artistic landscape, bringing live entertainment to the local community for more than 85 years.

Since re-opening last year, the venue has gone from strength to strength, with Liam Gallagher and John Squire, Tom Odell, OMD, John Cooper Clarke and The Stranglers all performing this week.

The partnership will create profile for the University both regionally and nationally, with increased numbers of visitors flocking to the city from further afield to see their favourite artists playing live.

Pre-sales tickets on offer for staff and students

Through the partnership agreement, students and staff will benefit from a 24-hour pre-sale period for shows, giving early access to tickets. More information will follow shortly.

Real-life industry experience

A development programme and training opportunities will be the cornerstone of the partnership providing real-life industry experience for our students. As well as this every University of Wolverhampton student will also have the chance to stand on the hallowed stage, with graduations moving to the venue for the first time next week.
