A First Choice tenant, Richie, is hosting his own gig with multiple artists for the second year in a row. The money raised from RichieFest will go to supporting Gig Buddies Cymru.
Gig Buddies Cymru is a befriending scheme that matches people with a learning disability in Wales* with a volunteer who shares the same interests, so they can go to gigs and other events together.
GWEN
GWEN is the solo project of Welsh artist, songwriter and producer Gwenllian Anthony, co-founder and creative force behind two-time Welsh Music Prize winners Adwaith.
Blending industrial textures, minimalist electronics and hypnotic rhythms with emotionally direct songwriting, GWEN draws on the fearless experimentation of Kim Gordon and Björk and the rhythmic freedom of Lizzy Mercier Descloux and CAN to create a sound that is raw, expansive and distinctly her own.
Having just released her debut solo album UMA via Libertino, GWEN continues to explore her own creative identity, balancing vulnerability with intensity and fearless experimentation.
Writing and performing entirely in Cymraeg, GWEN embraces the language as her instinctive creative voice, placing it at the heart of music that connects with audiences across cultures and borders.
Death Cult Electric
Hailing from Cardiff, Death Cult Electric have been creating fuzzed-out alternative rock, fronted by Steffan Pringle, since their inception in 2019. Rattling through riff after riff, at breakneck speed, dce's ferocious live show has handed them support slots with bands such as Future of the Left, mclusky, Himalayas, John, and more.
Filling in the gaps are drummer Alec Rees, bassist Chris Hampson, and guitarist Rich Wright. All with their own set of skills and experience, Death Cult Electric comes together to create a cacophony of sound that is sonically like nothing you've heard before.
Papa Jupe's T.C
Papa Jupe's T.C. drench post-punk in sleazy surf rock. Their surreal lyrics lampoon masculinity, politics, and power. The band's performance and visual style are inspired heavily by a fascination with cults and religion, with "praise be" and "all hail Papa Jupe" becoming catchphrases for the band at gigs.
Lady Garden
Lady Garden are a four-piece, all-female, alternative punk band from Cardiff, featuring Isobel (vocals and rhythm guitar), Amelie (bass), Lowri (lead guitar) and Sarah
(drums). The band is for fans of female driven punk acts such as Bikini K*ll, Amyl and the Sniffers, and Lambrini Girls. With powerful high energy shows, the band are carving out a sound that's raw and distinctive.
The band are riot-grrrl-inspired, and are dedicated to making sure women have a seat at the table in the music industry. Their goals is to encourage young women to speak their minds and foster a community where marginalised voices can be heard.
After a refreshed lineup, and success following their single 'Drop Dead Gorgeous" this summer, new music is underway...
Hairdye
HAIRDYE is a high-energy teen punk rock band hailing from Newport. Formed in the summer of 2024 through an Instagram group chat, the band quickly built a reputation as one of the most exciting young acts in the Welsh alternative scene. Fusing gritty 90s "New Seattle" Newport grunge, California skate punk, and British riot grrrl attitude, they create a signature sound defined by raw, scuzzy guitars and pounding, in-your-face basslines.
Julia Harris
Julia Harris is a Cardiff-based singer-songwriter blending rythmic acoustic guitar and raw storytelling. Julia has opened for artists including Damien Rice, Anaïs Mitchell, and Amy Wadge, and is the co-owner of The Canopi and Sustainable Studio.
