This year's iteration of the festival also sees Sŵn collaborating with Cardiff Music City Festival as part of the three week-long celebration of music featuring gigs, immersive aspects, residencies, installation and pop-ups set to take over the city. Sŵn live manager Adam Williams commented:
"I’m delighted to finally share the first wave of artists for Sŵn Festival 2024. This year’s event will be slightly different; running from Thursday through Saturday all three days will be fully multi venue, with over 130 artists performing across 11 different stages. We’re also in the process of finalising some exciting guests, stage partners and the return of our industry conference - details of which we’ll be able to share with you soon. Finally, and most importantly, this year’s event will be a key partner within the inaugural Cardiff Music City Festival; a three-week, city wide celebration of music in Cardiff this Autumn."
