| Festival Description | Sŵn is pronounced ‘soon’ and is Welsh for ‘sound’. Since 2007 Cardiff has played host to the annual Sŵn Festival, bringing some of the newest and most exciting local, national and international acts to the Welsh capital. The festival is now moving into its 6th year, with the most ambitious festival plans to date. Whilst still focusing on new and emerging acts, the festival will also play host to some well established headline acts, as well as broadening the programme to include arts based fringe events. We have loads to tell you about in the coming months leading up to the festival in October so hold on to your hats. |
