jackarmy Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'd imagine this would be held in Singleton Park. When we used to have Escape in The Park it had a capacity of about 30,000. Only other place I can think of is where they held the Eisteddfod in Velindre in 2006. But that's WELL out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Taylor and Ed on the same bill is pretty huge, but otherwise that is a pretty bizarre lineup. Beck headlining!?

FloorFiller Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 With the billings Beck's been receiving over the last few years you'd think he's had some massive career resurgence and not just won a Grammy for a mediocre album everybody swiftly forgot about.

UEF Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 As always, not a bad set of turns for £20 tickets. Atmosphere wise though, these events are like being on a bus during the school run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
