No idea but presumably same/similar to Edinburgh

Great support!

Shame Neil Young has cancelled

Reckon we’ll get a replacement? They didn’t replace KoL last year but this is much more in advance.

Not sure most bands/acts big enough to play would have their summer locked in by now.

Hoping KOL to fill in this year as they are going to UK but not Cardiff

Wouldn't they have announced it with their other UK days if they were? Or do we think they're just going to be piecemeal like every other act seems to be with announcing gigs on different weeks?

Can't see it personally Manchester 4th, Cardiff 5th, Leeds 6th isn't logical movement

Blackweir put out an instagram post with the lineup saying that’s it for this year so no replacement for Neil

KoL last year, now Neil Young this... they don't seem to be having luck with avoiding cancellations.

Maybe that will appease the NIMBYs slightly lol

Blog post by Live Nation re the new arena.

 

See Bristol have finally started work on their arena, opening in the same year as Cardiff, 2028.

Joy Formidable are cool but that is quite the support slot for them.

 

Although given McFly have done Download, maybe they're courting the heavier crowd.

I'm planning on going to the Castle to see David Byrne in July after a friend who lives in the city said it'd work. What could I expect from it as a venue?

 

Certainly one thing I'll be hoping to avoid this time is getting stuck in a 2 hour traffic jam on the M4 between the Severn Bridge and Newport, as happened when I went to see Foo Fighters at the Millennium/Principality Stadium 2 years ago.
