With a population of over 300,000 and home to MK Dons, Milton Keynes sits just 35 minutes from London and lies at the heart of major expansion plans for the region. Positioned at the centre of the Oxford–Cambridge growth corridor, the city is also only 25 minutes from the forthcoming Universal Studios UK development, further cementing its future as a major leisure and entertainment destination.
SMK Live is the first event in what will become a packed programme of year-round live music, from stadium-scale concerts to intimate arena shows, taking place at Stadium MK from 2026 onwards.
