Swansea (Wales Times) September 07, 2026 — Singleton Live uk/local/swansea/">Swansea has been announced as a new major outdoor music series scheduled for Singleton Park in summer 2027, with DEPOT Live joining Full Fat 360, Cuffe & Taylor and Swansea Council to develop the programme. The organisers said the first headliner will be confirmed next week, while further show details are due to follow.

The new series is intended to bring large-scale live music events back to the Swansea park, which has a history of hosting concerts and festival programming. According to the announcement published by It’s On Cardiff, every artist confirmed for Singleton Live will play exclusively at Singleton Park within Wales, meaning the venue will be the only Welsh location for those forthcoming performances.

The announcement did not name any artists, give concert dates, disclose ticket prices, or state the expected attendance capacity for individual events. Those details are expected in later announcements as the summer 2027 programme is unveiled.

What is Singleton Live Swansea?

Singleton Live Swansea is a newly announced headline concert series that will take place at Singleton Park during summer 2027. It is being launched by DEPOT Live in partnership with Full Fat 360, Cuffe & Taylor and Swansea Council.

The programme represents an expansion of DEPOT Live’s outdoor-event activity in Wales. The company emerged from Cardiff venue DEPOT and has staged concerts and music events at Cardiff Castle, as well as the DEPOT in the Castle one-day festival.

It’s On Cardiff reported that DEPOT Live’s Cardiff Castle events have featured artists including Tom Jones, Sting, Blondie, The Script and Fontaines D.C. The promoter also launched Blackweir Live at Blackweir Fields in Cardiff in 2025, with the site described in the report as Cardiff’s largest greenfield music venue.

The same report said Blackweir Live has hosted performers including Stevie Wonder, Alanis Morissette, Noah Kahan, Lewis Capaldi, Pitbull and The Cure.

Which organisations are behind the new series?

DEPOT Live is leading the project alongside Full Fat 360, Cuffe & Taylor and Swansea Council. The partnership combines a Wales-based live-events promoter, concert-industry partners and the local authority responsible for the city’s public-space and cultural arrangements.

Nick Saunders, founder of DEPOT Live, said in the announcement that Singleton Park’s concert history was an important factor in the project. As quoted by It’s On Cardiff, Saunders said: “Singleton Park has a brilliant live music history, and we’re excited to be part of its next chapter.”

Saunders said the organisers’ objective was to secure prominent concerts for the city and Welsh audiences. In the statement carried by It’s On Cardiff, he said the ambition was to “bring genuinely big shows to Swansea”, provide music fans with events closer to home, and create lasting live-music experiences.

The partners have not yet outlined a complete list of shows, artists, stage layouts, transport arrangements or event-day operating plans. The first announcement is expected to establish the initial direction of the series.

When will the first Singleton Live act be announced?

The first headline act for Singleton Live Swansea is due to be announced next week, according to the launch announcement. The report did not specify the exact day or time of the reveal.

The organisers said that additional announcements will follow, including further details relating to the first headline event. Fans seeking official updates have been directed to the Singleton Live website, singletonlive.com.

The Wales-only exclusivity arrangement is a central element of the early announcement. The organisers said the artists announced for the series will perform at Singleton Park exclusively in Wales, rather than appearing at multiple Welsh venues as part of the same run of dates.

This does not establish whether artists will perform elsewhere in the UK, nor does it confirm the number of dates that each act will play at Singleton Park. The information released so far refers to the Welsh exclusivity of the announced shows.

How will grassroots venues receive support?

A proportion of the promoter fee will be reinvested in Swansea’s grassroots music venues under the partnership agreement, the organisers said. The stated aim is to help emerging artists, support independent venues and strengthen the city’s local live-music network.

Councillor Rob Stewart, leader of Swansea Council, described the arrangement as an important part of the project. As quoted by It’s On Cardiff, he said the commitment meant the benefits would be felt “right across our grass roots music scene”.

Stewart said the new partnership would return major live music to the park. In the statement published by It’s On Cardiff, he said:

“This is exciting news for Swansea and for music fans across Wales. Singleton Park has hosted incredible live music moments over the years. We’re proud to bring major live music back to the park through this new partnership.”

The council leader also said Swansea had a strong relationship with music and that Singleton Live would add to the city’s reputation. He said the council was looking forward to announcing further details.

The announcement does not state the value or percentage of the promoter fee that will be reinvested, identify specific recipient venues, or explain the distribution process. Those operational details have not yet been published.

What is Singleton Park’s music history?

Singleton Park has previously hosted prominent live acts and major music events. According to the announcement, past performers at the venue include Stereophonics, Madness, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

The park also hosted BBC Music’s The Biggest Weekend, an event that brought artists including Taylor Swift, Florence + the Machine and Ed Sheeran to Swansea, according to It’s On Cardiff.

This previous event history is being cited by the project partners as part of the rationale for establishing the new concert series. The organisers are positioning Singleton Live as the next stage in the venue’s role as an outdoor destination for larger music shows.

What will audiences need to wait for?

Concertgoers will need to wait for the initial artist reveal and later event information before making plans for summer 2027. The announcement does not yet include on-sale dates, ticketing providers, age rules, accessibility information, prohibited-items guidance, local travel plans or site-entry times.

People interested in attending should rely on updates from the official Singleton Live channel and event partners once the programme is released. The early announcement confirms the partnership, the venue, the summer 2027 timeframe and the Welsh exclusivity approach, but not the individual concert line-up.

What is the background to Singleton Live Swansea?

Singleton Live Swansea follows a period in which DEPOT Live has broadened its outdoor concert activity in Wales. From its roots at the Cardiff events venue DEPOT, the promoter has staged high-profile Cardiff Castle shows, its DEPOT in the Castle festival and Blackweir Live at Blackweir Fields.

Singleton Park already has established credentials as a concert venue through appearances by major UK and international performers, as well as its hosting of BBC Music’s The Biggest Weekend. The new partnership brings together DEPOT Live, Full Fat 360, Cuffe & Taylor and Swansea Council to use that existing live-music history for a dedicated 2027 series.

How could Singleton Live Swansea affect music fans and local venues?

For music fans in Swansea and across Wales, the planned series could create access to major outdoor concerts at a Welsh venue, with organisers saying each announced act will be exclusive to Singleton Park within Wales. This may reduce the need for some audiences to travel elsewhere in the country for those particular shows, subject to ticket availability and the final line-up.

For grassroots venues and emerging performers, the planned reinvestment of part of the promoter fee could provide additional support for the local music ecosystem. However, the practical effect will depend on the amount allocated, the venues selected and the funding arrangements that are announced later.
