"As local lads, we've been wanting to get on the bill for a few years now, so getting the opportunity to open up the show in our hometown is proper mint. "We've been busy gigging recently and are really looking forward to adding Llanfest to our dates." Other acts include The Cazadors, a five-piece rock, funk, and soul band also from Llangollen, and Seprona, a five-piece rock band from Liverpool. Manchester's indie group, Muddy Elephant, will also perform, as will seven-piece psychedelic revivalists, Galore. Monstaball, known for their high-energy performances, will deliver exhilarating party vibes, while Chilled, an indie rock band formed in 1998, will represent Corwen. Amnesia, a Liverpool-based club classics dance band, will perform euphoric dance tracks live. Kids are set to have a great day out too, as the event is offering free entry for accompanied children. Keith Potts from the Llangollen Pavilion said: "Llanfest 2025 is a true celebration of music, community, and culture, bringing together festival-goers of all ages. "Best of all, accompanied children can attend for free, making it a perfect day out for families. "Alongside live music, people can enjoy a range of food and drink stalls, entertainment, and the unique atmosphere of the Llangollen Pavilion."
