Summer 2025 will see Caldicot Castle join the ranks of other prestigious fortresses around the UK who play host to successful concert events, as Caldicot Castle launches Summer Nights at Caldicot Castle for 2025. The new outdoor music brand will bring the royalty of world music to Wales, hosted within the majestic landscape of the castle and nestled under the crystalline stars of the Welsh sky. Plus, the new music series pledges to give new and local talent slots on the lineup, as it opens up the performance stage to the cream of burgeoning Welsh artists to support the headline icons on the first two nights of the festival series.
“The grandeur of Caldicot Castle deserves its time in the spotlight,’ comments Pablo Janczur, the series creator. ‘In 2023, audiences enjoyed a sold-out show with Noel Gallagher and the High-Flying Birds, hot-footed this year with successful shows with Ministry of Sound Ibiza Classical and The Stranglers. Now, due to public demand, we’ve created the ‘Summer Nights at Caldicot Castle’ music series, bringing bespoke world-class shows to summers at Caldicot.’
For one very special weekend, the resplendent grounds of Caldicot Castle will transform into a stage for some of the UK’s most iconic bands, as indie, rock, new wave and punk invade the turrets of the grand Welsh bastion, to bring an unforgettable new music series to Caldicot Castle.
To kick off, the Summer Nights at Caldicot Castle announce:
Friday 1 August Razorlight, Jamie Webster and Public Order
Saturday 2 August. Levellers, Pop Will Eat Itself, Rusty Shackle and Dactyl Terra
Sunday 3 August. Squeeze, Badly Drawn Boy
Where possible the organisers are providing a platform for New and established Welsh bands to perform over the weekend. On Friday 1 August Merthyr’s Public Order will open for Razorlight, and on Saturday 2 August Dactyl Terra will open for The Levellers and local boys, Rusty Shackle, will set the stage alight with their feel good folk rock.
