The first waves of acts has been announced for the Sŵn Festival finale.
Set to appear on October 21, which the organisers have coined Discovery Day, are Alice Jemima, Boy Azooga, Campfire Social, Ardyn, Caro, Dan Stock, False Advertising, Himalayas, John Smith, JW Ridley, Keeva, Kidsmoke, Martha Gunn, Sam Fender, Sea Girls, White Kite, Yowl and Trudy and the Romance.
Promoter and Sŵn Festival co-founder, John Rostron said:
“When the Sŵn adventure began a decade ago, a big driving force for us was discovery. We wanted people to come to Cardiff and see the city we loved and called home. For people to hear great new bands from Wales and for the Welsh and wider music industry to pick up on them.
This year’s Sŵn Festival may feel a little different, but discovery will remain at the heart of everything we offer. With many people travelling into Cardiff for the closing weekend, we’ve made Saturday leaner and meaner, keeping Sunday clear for you to nurse hangovers and tired feet to head slowly home, ears packed full of great new discoveries.”
This year the festival returns with a new format, now encompassing a month long series of shows staged across Wales this autumn and incorporating the Welsh Music Prize, with things getting underway when the Skints play Swansea’s Sin City on September 22.
A string of Cardiff dates will then follow, with Songhoy Blues and the Amazons playing the Tramshed, This is the Kit taking over the Globe and Clean Cut Kid, Jen Cloher and Aquilo pitching up at Clwb Ifor Bach.
