The hall has been an important cultural hub for the community and has played host to a variety of musical, theatrical, and artistic events. They say the loss of the venue to a private company would be a blow to the cultural scene in Cardiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the council faces a significant budget deficit of \u00a353 million for the coming year and they say  the hall&#8217;s \u00a3700,000 annual subsidy, along with the costs of upkeep and repairs make it financially untenable in the current climate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The council wants to lease the hall to  Academy Music Group, which is part-owned by Live Nation. That company already operates the Motorpoint Arena and will also operate the planned new music arena in Cardiff Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A petition opposing the plans has received more than 19,000 signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-770x391.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-1536x781.png 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-293x149.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-1400x712.png 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1.png 1615w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-770x391.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-1536x781.png 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-293x149.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1-1400x712.png 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cardiffnewsplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-4-min-1.png 1615w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The December demonstration was organized by the Cardiff Peoples\u2019 Assembly, a city-wide group that campaigns against austerity cuts and privatization.
