Unhinged: Yasmin Gardezi
Unhinged: Yasmin Gardezi
Unhinged’s mission statement is to “cultivate rising artists and bringing established talent to Welsh audiences,” and Yasmin Gardezi could be seen as fitting either or both of those categories. The Cork-based DJ has earned a rep in Ireland, the UK, mainland Europe and Canada with trancey industrial techno sets; this is her Cardiff bow.

Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams
Following a show in Cardiff Castle circa summer 2022, in which Buzz’s John-Paul Davies reported a hit-packed set interspersed with observations about how big the seagulls are here, Bryan Adams is back in town, this time with a roof to raise – and not long after a Cardiff showing for Pretty Woman, the musical he …

Sage Todz + Morgan Elwy
Sage Todz + Morgan Elwy
Sage Todz, north Walian drill MC living down south, returns back up this way for a Monday night show promoted by Focus Wales and Theatr Clwyd. He’ll be joined on the bill by Morgan Elwy, who like Sage is notable for being almost alone in his genre – in Elwy’s case, roots reggae – as …
Prowl
Prowl
This band, from Montreal, play crossover thrash/beatdown kinda gear a la Power Trip and use a slightly unflattering photo on their Bandcamp which shows a room full of people looking really bored while they play. I don’t reckon that’ll happen here, though, because they sound gnarly and mosh-ready on latest album The Forgotten Realms. The …

Richard Hawley
Richard Hawley
Having first found mid-90s success in Britpop band Longpigs, Richard Hawley is something of an elder statesman of Sheffield music – he even spent a brief period on guitar for Pulp – and drops his ninth solo album, In This City They Call You Love, the week after this unusually intimate north Wales gig (tickets …

MG Boulter
MG Boulter
The weather is getting nicer (disclaimer – it’s been pure shite while I’ve actually been gathering these listings) so it’s time for this west Wales brewery to start putting on gigs in a marquee again. This one’s on a folky tip, with Southend-based Boulter having amassed a solid body of releases over the last decade …
Porridge Radio
Porridge Radio
Brighton’s Porridge Radio are your classic ‘bedroom solo project that turned into a full band over time’ kinda deal, so in touring this month with nowt but herself and a guitar (and a support act, Naima Bock), Dana Margolin returns to her musical roots, seemingly on a quest to challenge herself in the process.

Fishguard Folk Festival
Fishguard Folk Festival
Mostly free folk festival held over Spring Bank Holiday weekend in Pembrokeshire, also featuring workshops, sessions and walks. This year’s lineup features Lancastrian folk-rock octet Merry Hell and Scotland’s Breabach in the two headline slots, with the likes of Baggyrinkle, Facing The Ocean and Julie Murphy & Ceri Rhys Matthews also in town. Tickets: Merry …
Two-day live bonanza CELEBRATE THIS PLACE brings CASISDEAD, WARMDUSCHER and more to Cardiff Tramshed
Two-day live bonanza CELEBRATE THIS PLACE brings CASISDEAD, WARMDUSCHER and more to Cardiff Tramshed
Two-day live bonanza CELEBRATE THIS PLACE brings CASISDEAD, WARMDUSCHER and more to Cardiff Tramshed
For its second year, Celebrate This Place is coming to Cardiff. Devised by Clwb Ifor Bach and with a celebratory lineup to match its name, 2024 sees mask-donning rapper Casisdead headline his first Cardiff gig, whilst the following day Warmduscher finish off the late-bank holiday shindig at Tramshed. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, …
Lamerica: Jamie 3:26
Lamerica: Jamie 3:26
The latest DJ from the Defected stable to make it to Cardiff under the longrunning Lamerica promo banner, Chicago’s Jamie ‘3:26’ Watson favours more discofied, soulful and vocal house-y sounds, as has been Lamerica’s bread and butter over the years. Talking of house, there are posters for this daytime party around Cardiff that are about …

Big Chimney
Big Chimney
You can call this music old-timey, but good-timey is likely as appropriate when a top quality stringband get going – and Big Chimney, who hail from the Alaskan mountains, have earned themselves a strong rep through years of global touring. Fiddle, banjo, standup bass and guitar combine in the time-honoured Appalachian style.

Girli
Girli
According to Buzz’s review archives, Amelia Toomey aka Girli played Cardiff six years to the day (as I write), prompting Jasper Wilkins to muse: “If she keeps up her current trajectory, Girli may well be the future.” The ascendency from Clwb Ifor Bach to the Globe is fairly minor, size-wise, so this maybe didn’t quite …

Sonny Tennet
Sonny Tennet
Every UK city now either has a singer-songwriter guy who tries to go viral and/or get sports broadcast theme music placement by singing about their locale, or is going to have one soon. Sam Fender arguably does this for Newcastle already, but a challenger has appeared in Sonny Tennet, who just released inspiringly titled single …
Toby Lee
Toby Lee
Blues-rock fans seem to love it when a young guitarist appears and plays some ‘licks’. Toby Lee, now 19, has been doing this for nearly a decade and is no stranger to stages much bigger than this one: after starring in School Of Rock at the West End back in 2016, he’ll be supporting Jools …
Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy
Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy
Empathy is the third and final touring project devised by Welsh jazz trumpeter Tomos Williams, and for this observer’s money the most impressive musical assembly of all three. The first Cwmwl Tystion lineup, in 2019, drew from the Welsh jazz landscape, the second expanding into England; this time, Williams has pulled off two coups by …

Brujeria
Brujeria
Longrunning concept-metal extremists play what I think is their first ever Swansea show. With grindcore-y songs in Spanish about drug lords, serial killers etc Brujeria have featured several household names (by metal standards) over the years though Shane Embury of Napalm Death seems to be the only really head-turning one now.
The Anchoress
The Anchoress
Catherine Anne Davies was born in Wales before moving to Australia aged 10 weeks, but despite this early exit has generally worn her Welsh identity on her sleeve in her musical guise, The Anchoress. This has included various with the Manics and a regular place for, most often, Cardiff in her tour schedules, with Newport …
Nubiyan Twist
Nubiyan Twist
Big band – described as a 12-piece in some places, with a mere nine people in the photo I’m currently perusing – from the UK bohemian jazzy dance scene that spans several different genres and is perhaps most at home playing at 4pm at a mid-sized festival with exhorting a slightly baked audience to get …
