Get ready Swansea – music returns to Singleton Park as Swansea launches new summer concert series in 2027 with Singleton Live!
Headline acts are set to return to Singleton Park next summer as Swansea Council announces an exciting new partnership that will bring major live music events back to one of the city's most iconic outdoor venues.
Swansea Council has partnered with Full Fat 360, DEPOT Live and Cuffe & Taylor to launch Singleton Live, a brand-new series of music events taking place in Singleton Park during summer 2027.
In a major coup for Swansea, every artist announced as part of the series will be a Wales exclusive performance, making the city the only Welsh destination where music fans can experience these shows next year.
Residents and visitors can also gain early access to tickets through an exclusive pre-sale offer. Subscribers to Visit Swansea Bay's e-newsletter will receive a pre-sale code, allowing them to purchase tickets before they go on general sale.

Councillor Rob Stewart, Leader of Swansea Council, said:
"This is exciting news for Swansea and for music fans across Wales. Singleton Park has been the setting for some incredible live music moments over the years, and creating memories that people still talk about today.
"We're proud to be bringing major live music back to the park through this new partnership. Swansea is a city with a deep passion for music and Singleton Live will help strengthen that reputation even further.
"The commitment to reinvest a proportion of the promoter fee into grassroots music venues also means the benefits will be felt right across our grass roots music scene. This is an exciting new chapter for live music in Swansea, and we can't wait to reveal what's coming next."
Singleton Park has a proud history of hosting some of the biggest names in music. Over the years, the venue has welcomed artists including Stereophonics, Madness, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Noel Gallagher's High-Flying Birds. It has also played host to the acclaimed BBC Music's The Biggest Weekend, which brought global stars including Taylor Swift, Florence + the Machine, and Ed Sheeran to Swansea.
The launch of Singleton Live reflects Swansea's longstanding reputation as a city with music at its heart. Live music plays a vital role in creating vibrant, inclusive cities, attracting visitors, supporting local businesses and strengthening cultural identity.
Major events generate significant economic benefits through visitor spending on accommodation, hospitality, retail and transport, while helping to raise Swansea's profile as a destination for culture and entertainment.
Importantly, Singleton Live will also support the wider music ecosystem across the city. As part of the partnership agreement, a percentage of the fees generated will be distributed to Swansea's grassroots music venues, helping to support emerging artists, sustain independent venues and strengthen the future of live music locally.
Oli Bartlam, Founder of Full Fat 360, said:
“Singleton Park has an incredible live music heritage, and we’re hugely excited to build on that with something new for Swansea. Singleton Live is about bringing major artists and standout shows back to one of Wales’ most iconic outdoor venues. We’re incredibly proud to be working with Swansea Council, DEPOT Live and Cuffe & Taylor to create a series that we believe can become a major fixture in the UK summer music calendar.”
