And if two HUGE nights of live music in Coventry wasn't enough, Broadgate is also going to be transformed into a fantastic three day food festival! Top local chefs Glynn Purnell and Paul Foster will lead a packed programme of food and fun in Coventry City Centre.
Over the weekend there'll be a ‘Coventry Cook Off’ competition running, which gives local restaurants a chance to cook up a storm in front of a live audience, with the winner receiving a trophy on Sunday afternoon.
Not only that, there'll be plenty of chances to get involved in live demonstrations, lots of food to try and a huge selection of street food traders across the city.
The Coventry Food Festival will take place from 11am to 5pm on Friday, 17th June, 10am to 5pm on Saturday, 18th June, and 11am to 4pm on Sunday, 19th June.

Now take a look at 9 things you're GUARANTEED to hear Brits say this Summer...
"It's too hot!"
We spend all year waiting for the sun to come out in the UK and then when it arrives we literally can't take the heat!
"Where's the sun?"
But when that sunshine starts to go behind a cloud, it feels like the Antarctic and we're left pining for the heat again!
"Get the barbecue on!"
We can't have as many people with us right now as we might want to, but that doesn't mean we don't still shout to get the barbecue fired up as soon as there's a hint of good weather.
"Let's make summer drinks!"
A fruity drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) is a great way to feel refreshed in summer.
"I need air con!"
The fan in our bedroom at night just isn't cutting it and we wish we had some fancy system installed in our house to help us keep cool!
"I'm burnt!"
When you end up looking like a drumstick lolly, you know you've overdone it. Sun safety first everyone!
"Quick! Get the umbrella!"
Yep, you can never go very long without your UK summer essentials of the umbrella and waterproof clothing!
"Can I have an Ice Cream?"
Okay, so in some places the Ice Cream van isn't going around, but that doesn't mean we haven't stocked up the freezer ready for those summer days, which means it's only a matter of time before we're asking for one!
"Get the paddling pool filled up!"
Whether it's for the kids, to chill yourself down or even for your furry friend, a paddling pool is an much-loved part of the UK summer experience!
