An outdoor concert in the Welsh capital featuring some of Wales' biggest stars will lead the celebrations over the four-day bank holiday for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June. Other events planned include the lighting of more than 1,500 beacons around the country to celebrate the milestone.
Live under the Stars has announced the Cardiff Castle Jubilee Celebration Concert, on Saturday, June 4, which will feature the likes of Aled Jones, Mike Peters, Bonnie Tyler and John Owen-Jones. The event, which will kick off at 3pm, will also see drumming weatherman Owain Wyn Evans take to the stage alongside funnyman Mike Doyle, the Pendyrus Male Voice Choir and the Welsh Pops Orchestra.
Promising an occasion full of "music, song and laughter", the concert will include a specially produced 'Singing in the Reign' programme to celebrate the best Welsh hits to have coincided with the Queens 70 years on the throne. It also promises a Jubilee picnic in a box as well as other food options and a full bar. Richard Perry, director of Live Under the Stars, said: "We are delighted to be producing this one-off Concert to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. We hope everyone that attends are able to make their own treasured memories of a once in a lifetime moment in our history and what better place to do it than iconic Cardiff Castle."
