McFly
The pop-punk boy band are all grown up and ready to rock Cardiff
Guitar-driven boy band McFly are one of the biggest British groups of recent years. Their winning combination of high-energy pop-punk as heard on “5 Colours In Her Hair”, sugary sweet love songs like “All About You” and timeless anthems such as “Obviously” has resonated with an international audience.
Formed in 2003, McFly have sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, including their double-platinum debut Room on the 3rd Floor which saw them become the youngest ever band to hit No.1, plus the platinum-certified titles Wonderland and Motion in the Ocean.
The cheeky chaps have also won the Brit Award for Best British Pop Act and they shot into the Top 10 once again with their latest title Power to Play. They now head to Cardiff to play a monumental headline set including tracks from across their incredible career.

New Order
See the synth-pop sensations take over the Welsh capital
Having first been the poster boys for post-punk as Joy Division, New Order exploded in the 80s and became the signature sound of the synth-pop decade. Their daring fusion of early indie, Eurodisco and krautrock led to the dance music revolution, and the impact on culture can never be understated.
Darlings of the indie disco, their seven-and-a-half minute electronica epic “Blue Monday” is believed to be the best-selling 12-inch single of all time. They have scored further major international hits with singles "Confusion", "Thieves Like Us", and "The Perfect Kiss" all heard on their platinum-certified compilation album Substance 1987. New Order also scored a No. 1 single with their 1990 World Cup anthem “World in Motion” in support of England.
Now, New Order make their way to Alexandra Head at Cardiff Bay this summer to play all the songs you know and love. Tickets currently available with Gigantic.
