Eisteddfod announces first of big-name 2025 concerts

Global pop-rock sensation The Script are heading to North Wales next summer as part of their Satellites UK Tour.

The Irish chart toppers are the first act to be announced to headline Live at Llangollen Pavilion in 2025 and will perform at the venue on Thursday July 3. They will be joined on the night by very special guest Tom Walker.

Tickets go on sale at 10am Saturday September 28.

The Script – made up of Danny O'Donoghue (vocals), Glen Power (drums), Ben Sargeant (bass) and Ben Weaver (guitar) - first rose to fame in 2008 with the release of their self-titled debut album, which featured hit singles The Man Who Can't Be Moved and Breakeven. Since then, the band have enjoyed a hit-filled career including six Number One albums.

With their infectious energy, The Script present a memorable night of new music and fan-favourites, which is sure to be a hit as they make their Llangollen debut.

BRIT Award winner Tom Walker is a British singer-songwriter who burst onto the scene with his hit single Leave a Light On. His debut album What a Time to Be Alive, topped the UK Albums Chart and showcased his distinctive sound. Tom’s performance is set to add an extra layer of excitement to what promises to be an unforgettable night in Llangollen.

The announcement is part of an ongoing partnership with Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor.

This year saw Cuffe and Taylor - one of the UK’s leading promoters of live music, theatre, and events - partner with the International Eisteddfod for the first time, presenting 11 headline concerts in conjunction with the world-famous festival.

Cuffe and Taylor co-founder Peter Taylor said: “After the incredible success of our first year working with the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod team, we are delighted to continue our partnership for 2025.

“A headline show with The Script is a great first announcement and we will be revealing even more big-name artists very soon. We’ve had the pleasure of working with the band before and they certainly put on a spectacular show. I’m sure our Llangollen audience will have an unforgettable evening with this incredible artist.”

Artistic Director of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod Dave Danford added: “2024 was an amazing year for us, and we’re really excited about all of the artists we’re planning to bring to North East Wales in 2025.

“The Script are hugely popular, and they’re the perfect choice for our first summer announcement, along with the brilliant Tom Walker as a special guest. We can’t wait to welcome them all to Llangollen on 3 July.” For more information and to purchase tickets go to llangollen.net and www.ticketmaster.co.uk
