"Whether you've lived here for years or are visiting for the first time, I know this summer will be something truly special, full of unforgettable memories.
"That's what live music is all about."
The Llangollen International Eisteddfod, now in its 78th year, will feature headline performances from Sir Karl Jenkins, KT Tunstall, Il Divo, and Beyond Time: The Music of Hans Zimmer.
