The biggest gigs coming to Swansea in 2021 and how to get tickets

With the lifting of lockdown restrictions gigs in Wales can finally take place again.

Many big gigs may have been pushed back again to 2022 but there are still plenty of concerts taking place this summer in Swansea.

The crowd, the music, the atmosphere - many people miss the buzz of live events and there's some big names coming to the city. Although some are sold out there are still some tickets available for several events.

The city's new 3,500-seat digital arena is also due to be completed later this year and its manager, Lisa Mart, has previously worked with major artists including Paul Weller, Paloma Faith, Kaiser Chiefs, Gary Barlow, Michael McIntyre, Russell Howard and RuPaul, raising hopes of plenty of artists being drawn to Swansea's music scene.

Patti Pavilion has undergone a makeover and will host some big names soon too.

These are the biggest bands currently booked to play in Swansea in 2021 and how you can get tickets.

Foals

Date: Saturday, August 14

Location: Singleton Park

The band, loved for songs such as Inhaler and Spanish Sahara, will perform at Singleton Park in what will be a big weekend of music at the venue.

It will be a second summer 2021 Welsh date for the band as they will also play their Cardiff Castle rescheduled gig on Thursday, August 12.

Unfortunately Singleton Park is sold out on Ticketmaster. But some tickets are available on See Tickets which cost £51.15 for general admission.

Olly Murs

Date: Sunday, August 15

Location: Singleton Park

Fans can expect to hear some of the pop singer's most popular hits, including Troublemaker, Dance With Me Tonight and Dear Darlin' when he performs the night at Foals.

Since coming second on The X Factor in 2009, the 36-year-old has gone on to release four number one albums.

More recently he has become a familiar face as one of the coaches on BBC singing competition, The Voice.

Basement Jaxx and Becky Hill are supporting. This Swansea gig has sold out via Ticketmaster but there are some tickets available at See tickets.

The cost of tickets varies depending on your age but an adult ticket costs £49.50. VIP and golden circle tickets are now sold out.

Catfish and The Bottlemen

Date: Saturday, September 4

Location: Singleton Park

The band, whose hits include Kathleen, Pacifier, Cocoon and Longshot, will also play Singleton Park in 2021 in a gig that's been rescheduled twice due to coronavirus.

It will feature support acts You Me At Six, Feeder and YONAKA.

If you fancy this then some tickets are still available on Ticketmaster. Tickets are £39.20 each.

The Staves

Date: Thursday, September 23

Location: The Brangywn

The indie folk-rock trio of sisters - Emily, Jessica and Camilla Staveley-Taylor - are kicking off their new tour in Swansea in September.

Newton Faulkner

Date: Saturday, October 2

Location: Patti Pavilion

Faulkner's music spans genres from folk and blues to soul and country. His heartfelt acoustic blues style of playing has a pop edge and a uniquely laid-back feel.
