South Wales will host a new rock festival next summer.
After more than seven years away from Welsh stages, Alter Bridge will headline their inaugural Blackbird Festival at Cardiff Castle on June 27, featuring a handpicked line-up of Welsh bands, including Skindred, Florence Black, and Cardinal Black. Tickets go on general sale at 9.30am next Friday (August 22).
Commenting on the event — the first to be announced for the 2026 TK Maxx presents Depot Live series — Alter Bridge vocalist Myles Kennedy said:
"We realised we haven’t played Wales in over seven years. To make up for lost time, we thought it would be cool to do something extra special. So with that said, we are stoked to announce The Blackbird Festival. Not only does this commemorate 20-plus years of being a band, but it’s also a way to show our appreciation for the fans in Wales who’ve patiently waited for our return."
The Florida rockers will release their self-titled eighth studio album through Napalm Records on January 9, following up 2022's 'Pawns & Kings'. Head here for more details on that.
They'll support the record with their previously scheduled What Lies Within Tour, which will call in cities across Europe and the UK early next year, with support from Daughtry and Sevendust. Tickets for those dates are on sale now.
