With weekend tickets flying out, Cardiff will soon be bathed in the inaugural new music festival delights that Swn has to offer. A final wave of acts was recently announced and the now impressive line-up stands proud in all of its behemoth beauty, looking set to make 2019 one of its best yet. So with little persuasion needed, I've spent the past few days rummaging through the list of many, many acts, most of whom are unknown to me, and I've complied a playlist of my 20 must see's - a task in itself with so much on offer, it doesn't even dent the sides. Take a listen for yourselves below and prepare for the days ahead. 



The festival will take place on the 18th, 19th and 20th October 2019. Second release Weekend Tickets are priced at £70 with Friday Tickets £27.50 (Final Release), Saturday £30 (Final Release) and Sunday £25 (Final Release). For more information and to get your tickets, head to swnfest.com.
