Cardiff Music City Festival presents... Sŵn

Wales' leading multi-venue, music discovery festival.

Sŵn Festival is an award-winning multi-venue music festival based entirely in Cardiff’s city centre, which has been running since 2007. Since its inception, the festival has been focused on new music, emerging artists and homegrown acts. We take over a great big handful of our favourite venues and spaces in Cardiff and curate an electrifying weekend of refreshing music that exhilarates us and you. For three days, Cardiff city centre is transformed into a hub for music-makers and music-fanatics where you get to explore this wonderful city and discover remarkable new music. The festival isn’t exclusive to any particular style of music. We book artists that excite us and we hope they excite you too.

Our 2026 masterclasses are here!

On Friday, 16th October, we have three incredible masterclasses happening over at Cornerstone as part of Sŵn Connect. We have a keynote speaker in singer-songwriter Matt Maltese, as he discusses the lessons learnt from his journey as a songwriter, with huge success in his solo work as well as collaborations with the likes of Roaslia and Joy Crookes.

We also have discussions around the evolution of music journalism with a panel of expert freelance journalists, and a chat with BBC 6 Music’s Emily Pilbeam on how new artists can find their audience.

To come along to these sessions, make sure you grab one of our free Masterclass tickets, where you can pick which sessions you’d like to attend. You can find them in our bio.

Bydd sgwrs hefyd am newid yn y byd newyddiaduraeth gerddorol, gyda phanel o newyddiadurwyr llawrydd profiadol, ynghyd â sesiwn gydag Emily Pilbeam o BBC Radio 6 Music yn trafod sut y gall artistiaid newydd ddod o hyd i’w cynulleidfa.
