A Welsh punk rock group who found fame on TikTok with their covers of Disney classics, television themes, and iconic pop songs will be performing in Crumlin next year.

Punk Rock Factory, who hail from Cwmbran, only played their first show in 2021, but followed it up with a UK tour and appearances at festivals across the the UK and Europe.

With tours in the USA and Australia booked in, the band has remembered its roots and organised a seven-date Welsh tour for March 2024.

As part of that tour, the group will be performing at the Patriot, in Crumlin, on Sunday March 3.

The group said: “It’s been a total whirlwind for our band since it took off during lockdown in 2020. We never expected to be whisked away to the far reaches of the UK and Europe on multiple occasions – but here we are.

“However, one thing that’s always kind of been pushed to the wayside while we’ve been busy gallivanting around is our home. Our beautiful country – Wales.

“We’re absolutely buzzing to make our way around the green green grass of home. And to make things even better, we’re bringing some amazing up-and-coming Welsh bands along for the ride.”
