A HOST of stars will be performing at a popular annual music event.

The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod has revealed the full star-studded outside stage line-up for this year’s Llanfest, which starts at 2pm on July 8 and brings the Eisteddfod to a close.

Multi-platinum English indie pop-legends Kaiser Chiefs will be headlining on the main stage, supported by renowned pop rock band Hoosiers and nineties icons Toploader.

A spokesman for the event said Llanfest is fast becoming a ‘music Mecca’ to see emerging bands on the outside stages during the day before the headliners take to the main stage in the evening.

This year festival-goers will be able to enjoy three outdoor stages, jam-packed with rock, pop and indie music.

The Cavern Club Liverpool will host its first ever pop up stage at Llanfest, with a myriad of performances by their world-class resident musicians covering the countless artists that have graced The Cavern Club stage over the years.

Other artists to perform at the event include Wrexham singer songwriter Luke Gallagher, Wrexham 70s/80s rock cover band Destination, Jack Found, Billy Bibby and The Wry Smiles, Camens, Lucy Mayhew, and Ben Roberts.

Llangollen Eisteddfod welcomes more than 4,000 performers and up to 50,000 visitors with Llanfest marking the end to a week-long event.

Dr Rhys Davies, chairman of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, said: “This year we’re yet again introducing new audiences to contemporary genres of music, perfectly combining the festival’s culture and heritage with ground-breaking modern talent to create the ultimate finale.

"We look forward to continuing to showcase a wider musical offering to expand upon our current audience.

“We’re delighted to announce such a show-stopping line-up for Llanfest’s outdoor stages.

"We are a truly global festival and it is wonderful to offer local talent the opportunity to perform on our worldwide stage.

"Most artists are based in Wales or the surrounding areas of Staffordshire, Merseyside and Cheshire and that is testament to the musical talent on our doorstep.

“It brings us so much pride to be able to bring this calibre of local talent together with world-class music legends to mark the end of a phenomenal week of extraordinary events”.
