Focus Wales has been cancelled for 2020, with plans to stage the festival confirmed for next autumn.
The multi-venue Wrexham event will now take place between October 7 and 9 2021, with the entire 2020 line up inked in to return.
That means we’ll see Richard Hawley (pictured), the Twilight Sad, Gruff Rhys, the Joy Formidable, Tim Burgess and more pitching up in north Wales, with fresh announcements to follow. Read a statement from the fest’s organisers below.
“FOCUS Wales strives to be an event which is inclusive, accessible, and a safe space, for our entire community of local, national, and international performers, speakers, visitors, and staff. With this in mind, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken the very difficult decision to postpone our 10th edition of FOCUS Wales until 7th - 9th October 2021.
“This is the very last thing we want to be doing, but sadly we feel it’s the only responsible option open to us at this point in time, as everyone’s health has to be the priority. This will be the first time in 10 years that we’ll have gone without the festival, and it’s difficult to put into words how the team is feeling right now. At the same time, we’re more determined than ever to deliver a very special 10th edition of FOCUS Wales in 2021 that can truly be the celebration we all want it to be.
“We are asking ticket holders to roll-over your tickets to 2021, if you can do so. All ticket holders will be emailed in due course. If you do need to, refunds are available at face-value up until 1st August this year, via our ticket partners at Gigantic tickets.”
We're so sad to be announcing that our 10th edition of FOCUS Wales must be postponed until 2021. Please read the post for more information.
