Fflam Festival Takes Shape!

25th May 2007

More names have been added to the line-up for the Fflam festival, due to be held 13-15 July this summer in Singleton Park. After doubts as to whether the event would even take place due to opposition from local residents, the announcement brings with it the reassurance that the event will go ahead despite there now being no camping facilities.

The event will have three stages, including the Sin City Cymru stage which will feature over 30 upcoming Welsh bands including Swansea's The Storys, The Heights, and Stuart Cable's new band, Killing for Company.

Welsh legends Manic Street Preachers will now close the event on the main stage, on Sunday evening, with Dirty Pretty Things, The Ordinary Boys and Mystery Jets amongst others on the main stage that evening.
