A city-wide music festival that champions up-and-coming artists is returning to Cardiff later this year. Sŵn Festival will return to the capital this October on a full scale for the first time since 2019, with events taking place at a number of venues across the city.
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, while Dafydd Iwan's Yma O Hyd recently reached number one in the charts following a campaign by Welsh football fans.
