FOCUS Wales have announced an exciting new wave of performers and delegates for their 2019 festival line up.

The event, which takes place in Wrexham, across May 16-18 next year will see 50 more acts joining the line-up alongside a number of speakers from across the music industry.

Added to the bill are Wrexham locals Neck Deep who are one of the biggest new music successes out of Wales in recent years, selling out shows around the world and building a huge global fan base throughout the process. Their current tour schedule has them set for shows across Australia and Europe, and the band will then return to Wrexham on Saturday May 18 at William Aston Hall, for their first hometown show since 2015.

Also announced are Newport ragga-punk-metallers Skindred, who have forged a reputation as one of the Europe’s most formidable live acts, by rocking the world’s biggest stages, and winning Kerrang! and Metal Hammer Awards for their efforts. Skindred join the FOCUS Wales line-up and will play William Aston Hall, Wrexham on Thursday May 16.

Also announced among this new wave of acts are the alt-pop outfit Colorama. Led by Carwyn Ellis, Colorama have eight acclaimed studio albums under their belts, and have graced the stages of festivals such as Glastonbury, Latitude and Greenman. Joining them on the line-up are Glove, who made waves at FOCUS Wales 2018, attracting the attention of Louder Than War creator John Robb.

Other names added include exciting new North Wales band Worldcub who combine members of much loved Welsh band CaStLeS, and Paris based Hippies vs Ghosts. To see the full list of 50 acts announced so far and purchase tickets visit www.focuswales.com
