William Dickins, booker for Sŵn Festival, commented:
"We're absolutely thrilled to present this latest group of Sŵn artists. While booking Sŵn, we're constantly amazed and ecstatic by the rush of new talent that we come across, and the joy it brings us being able to show them off to the music fans of Cardiff is something that never gets old. Showcasing amazing new talents like Lambrini Girls, The Tubs and Good Neighbours is a true honour, and we urge everyone to catch them now while they're still performing in intimate settings — they won't be in small venues for much longer!"
