Ipswich has seen its fair share of big musical names head to the town for performances over the years. 

From Ed Sheeran gigs on the Cornhill and Chantry Park, to Elton John and Tina Turner taking over at Portman Road, global icons have descended onto Suffolk's capital. 

With the capacity to hold gigs at multiple venues, we asked our readers which big names they would like to see perform.

1. Lewis Capaldi 

The Scotsman known for his incredible wit and heartbreaking songs was one name suggested. 

Lewis Capaldi is used to selling out arenas across the globe, and would likely command a huge crowd if he was to come to Suffolk. 

While he has announced an indefinite break from touring following an emotional performance at Glastonbury, could he be attracted to Suffolk?

2. Olly Murs

The Essex superstar wouldn't have far to travel if he was to perform in Ipswich. 

Olly Murs is used to performing in Suffolk, having done shows at Newmarket Nights in years gone by.

3. Foo Fighters 

The American band needs no introduction, having produced some of the world's best known rock songs. 

While Ipswich may have missed out on being included in their latest UK tour, we can dream of seeing the rock band excite audiences at Chantry Park or Portman Road.

4. Imagine Dragons

Another suggestion from readers was the band Imagine Dragons.  

The pop band, best known for the song Radioactive, are currently touring Europe on their Mercury World Tour, which is due to end in September.

Ed has done plenty of gigs in Ipswich. From small pub shows, he has gone on to perform sell-out shows at Chantry Park and performed at Portman Road during lockdown. 

Whatever stage of his career it may be, the Shape of You star will no doubt make another appearance in Ipswich.
