*The Cardiff show is a part of Swn festival, where the band will be curating a stage for the evening. This means, of course, that you can expect an evening of incredible bands and DJs in what is already destined to be a brilliant festival. Already confirmed are Dananananaykroyd. Los Campesinos! added “Our bands have been lovers for a long time, but, criminally, this is our first opportunity to play a show together. We cannot wait.”
