The second wave of acts has been revealed for this year's Sŵn Festival.
The three-day festival will return to various venues in the city centre of the Welsh capital between October 21 and 23, with CVC (pictured), The Lovely Eggs, Sorry, Joe & the Shitboys, and Molly Payton among the new additions to the line-up.
BC Camplight, Lime Garden, Panic Shack and Prima Queen were all previously confirmed for the Friday night opening gig at Tramshed.
After the cancellation of 2020's event due to COVID-19, and restrictions in place at the 2021 event, this year will be the first time since 2019 the festival is back to how it ran previously. Clwb Ifor Bach and Sŵn Festival live manager Adam Williams said:
"I cannot stress how excited myself and the team at Clwb are that we are able to bring Sŵn Festival back in 2022 in its fullest form. We are incredibly pleased to share the first wave of the 2022 edition with you. Booking the line-up is always such a pleasure and we are still somehow amazed by how many new artists there are each year. It is a total struggle to get them all on the bill. How many bands is too many bands?.
"The festival has always and will always showcase who we believe are the future big festival headliners both international and Welsh artists. This year, Cardiff centre will host over 120 artists across 12 venues. We have artists returning to the city: BC Camplight, The Orielles, Bodega, Billy Nomates, Snapped Ankles, Sea Power. We have artists making their Cardiff debut: Los Bitchos, Prima Queen, Lucia & The Best Boys, WH Lung, bdrmm and many many others. Expect new spaces, friendly faces and a whole lotta pink!"
