With 100 days to go until the start of the Eisteddfod, we are delighted to announce the Maes B line up for this year, and we’re sure that these bands and performers will appeal to the local and national audience, reinforcing Maes B’s important role in the Welsh language music calendar.
The Eisteddfod is working with the Welsh Language Society to ensure that the best entetainment possible is offered to a wide-ranging audience, providing opportunities for new artists.
Maes B opens on Saturday 31 July with Clinigol, Tokin4wa, Cyrion, El Parisa and DJ Nia Medi. On Monday and Tuesday evenings, it’s the Maes B Battle of the Bands competition. Wednesday night is bound to be popular with Derwyddon Dr Gonzo, Y Promatics, Creision Hud, Jen Jeniro and Just Like Frank. Then on Thursday evening, it’s Cate le Bon, Yr Ods, Plant Duw, Wyrligigs, Adrift and DJ Huw Stephens.
The final weekend gets off to a great start with Bryn Fôn a’r Band, Gwibdaith Hen Fran, Y Bandana and Y Betti Galws, and everything wraps up on 7 August, with Elin Fflur, Masters in France, Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog, Nos Sadwrn Bach, Crwydro and DJ Magi Dodd.
With so much on offer, it’s bound to be a week to remember for anyone who enjoys Welsh language music. Remember, the line up for Maes C will be announced over the coming weeks and the Welsh Language Society is also organising alternative evenings at Ebbw Vale Rugby Club.
Tickets will go on sale over the coming weeks, and details will be announced very soon.
