The Welsh band performed their biggest headline show to date at In The Park Festival last night (July 11), with over 32,000 fans watching the band return to the stage. The band were also joined by The Mysterines and Sundara Karma as their support acts.
It marks their first show since the departure of guitarist Johnny “Bondy” Bond in 2022, leaving frontman Van McCann and Benji Blakeway as the last remaining members.
The huge concert also comes ahead of their slot at Reading and Leeds later this August, along with two dates at Cardiff Castle on July 19 & 20, an Edinburgh Summer Sessions on August 24 and a slot at RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin on August 31 – buy your tickets here.
