“We’ve staged gigs at Cardiff Castle and this summer again in Pembroke Castle, but Caerphilly Castle is iconic, and we’re excited to bring such a strong line-up to the town in what will be the biggest gig in the biggest castle.”

Tickets are available from Blackwood Miners Institute and Ticketline UK in Cardiff.
