Manics, Placebo, Keane For New Welsh Festival

Manic Street Preachers, Keane and Placebo have all been confirmed to appear at the Fflam Festival in Wales.

The brand-spanking new event will be held in Singleton Park, Swansea on July 13-15 and is being dubbed as Wales’ first three day festival. 

Also playing at the 30,000 capacity event are Feeder and festival stalwarts The Levellers. Tickets go on sale from today.

Fflam organiser John Curd said: “Our aim is that Fflam will become to Wales what T in the Park is to Scotland. As well as giving locals the chance to see some of the best live bands around, we are also dedicated to nurturing new talent and the full line-up will reflect that."

The festival takes its name from the Welsh word for ‘Flame.’
