THE BLACKOUT, MY FIRST TOOTH AND MORE ADDED TO CARDIFF SWN FESTIVAL 2012 LINE-UP
The Blackout will play a special show at The Globe on Saturday 20th October, 2012, as part of this year’s Swn Festival.
Merthyr Tydfil’s finest have been building their reputation over the past seven years and this year they release their fourth LP. The band have been touring chums of Lostprophets since 2006 and have certainly learned a thing or two about stage craft and songwriting. A massive rock sound and catchy and anthemic vocals are the order of the day here.
Top up tickets for the event will cost £2, which will be donated to the Young Promoters Network. The YPN consist of young people, residing in Rhondda Cynon Taff, aged between 14-25 who are eager to help arrange live shows and promote young emerging acts. Combining skills, experiences and resources, the YPN has been instrumental in bringing high quality live music events to young people in RCT. Welsh music journalist James Mclaren, who tragically died in August, was a supporter of the YPN and it was one of the organisations that his family chose to support in his memory.
