Sŵn Festival is r eturning for the first time at full-scale since 2019. The city-wide music festival that champions up-and-coming artists is returning to Cardiff, with events taking place at a number of venues across the capital this weekend.
More than 120 artists will be involved in the festival, which will take place between October 21 and 23 . The event has become one of the most eagerly awaited in the UK music calendar, as it aims to "celebrate the diverse, exciting nature of British music and beyond".
The festival's return caps a remarkable year for Welsh music. In April, Cardiff hosted this year's BBC 6Music Festival, with acts including Idles, Bloc Party and the legendary Manic Street Preachers all performing and this week, Gwenno appeared on the shortlist of the Mercury Music Prize for her album, Tresor.
