Swansea ‘Tunes on the Bay’ festival set for spectacular summer weekend of music

The festival which could hold up to 10,000 music lovers on Swansea beach is proposed to run from Friday, May 3, 2024, to 11pm on Sunday, May 5. Initial information on general admission weekend tickets are rumoured to be £70 each, although they are not yet on sale.

Tunes Festivals, also known as Tunes in The Dunes, launched its first music festival on Perranporth beach in Cornwall a decade ago, before branching out to launch a few more festivals in the south west region, including Tunes in the Park in the grounds of Port Eliot Estate in Cornwall, Tunes On The Sands at Blackpool Sands, South Devon, and Tunes in the Castle in Powderham Castle, Exeter.

The event will be the company’s first foray on to Welsh shores and is expected to host a wide range of top performers, local acts, DJs, food stalls and a bar and is likely to dwarf crowds seen in Cornwall with double the amount of tickets likely to be provided.

Headline acts at previous Tunes festivals have included Paul Weller, UB40, The Coral, Kaiser Chiefs, James Bay, Scouting for Girls, The Kooks, Tinchy Stryder, Dizzee Rascal, Ella Eyre and Tom Odell, to name a few. The proposed line-up for the Swansea festival has not yet been shared but is expected to be announced well-ahead of the event.
