The popular ‘Brit Pop’ nineties band, best known for hits Alright, Moving, and Pumping on your Stereo, will be taking centre stage at Tunes on the Bay at Swansea Bay being held from May 2 to May 4.
Also announced to perform on the Saturday are Welsh rockers Feeder, best known for hits Buck Rogers and Just the Way I’m Feeling, and Indie singer/songwriter Jake Bugg, whose hits include Lightning Bolt, Two Fingers and All I Need.
Additionally, Gavin & Stacey’s Matt Horne, who plays Gavin on the show is also lined-up to play a DJ set.
The announcement follows the news that McFly will headline the Friday night of the event.
Known for their infectious energy, clever songwriting, and chart-topping hits, McFly burst onto the scene in 2004 with their debut album Room on the 3rd Floor, which made them the youngest band ever to have a debut album go straight to number one.
Over the years, they’ve delivered timeless anthems like “Five Colours in Her Hair,” “All About You,” “Obviously,” and “Star Girl,” earning them legions of fans worldwide.
Comprised of Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter, and Harry Judd, McFly combines feel-good melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and an undeniable stage presence that makes every performance unforgettable. Their music spans genres, blending pop, rock, and a hint of nostalgia, ensuring a little something for everyone. You can read more about that by clicking here.

Tunes Festivals, also known as Tunes in The Dunes, launched their first music festival on Perranporth beach in Cornwall a decade ago.
The company then branched out to launch a few more festivals across south west England, 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, Devon.
Tunes on the Bay will be the company’s first Welsh festival which could hold up to 10,000 music lovers on Swansea beach.
Organisers had planned to hold the event in Swansea last year, but later postponed until 2025.
Each day performances will be in full force with a variety of acts from noon until 11pm each day.
