A massive outdoor '80s music festival is coming to Cardiff's Bute Park

The UK’s biggest outdoor retro music festival Let’s Rock has announced it's coming to Cardiff next summer. The popular event will take place at the city's Bute Park on May 27 and is set to feature a 'who's who' from the '80s pop scene.

The concert will be headlined by Soft Cell and Wet Wet Wet, while the rest of the line-up includes the evergreen likes of Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley, Imagination, Nik Kershaw, Go West, Heather Small from M People, Heatwave, Hue & Cry, Five Star and many more.

It'll also be the first time in nearly 20 years that Marc Almond and Dave Ball have played together as Soft Cell at an outdoor festival. The duo, who've sold over 10million albums worldwide and enjoyed twelve UK Top 40 hits, reformed in 2018 to play a sold-out reunion show at London’s 02 and recently released their first album of new material in two decades.
