LGBTQ+ DAY MUSIC LINE UP

The Musical line up for this year’s Llanelli LGBTQ+ Day is bigger and better than before! This year, the event will take place in Llanelli’s Festival Fields with stages or as their better known lorry trailers provided once again by Owens Transport.

The event will have 2 stages so that a band can set up while one is performing and so far it lists an impressive line up!

Starting off the event at 12 will be artists from the Welsh Factor. The Welsh Factor is the home of the largest Talent Competition in South Wales and is supported by Wales’s leading Entertainment Agencies and has links to many promotional music industry companies within its group.

Next on the bill are Llanelli favourites The Otherside. This will be the 3rd year that they’ll be performing. At around 3pm and making their event debut are Raker’s Moon. They are a folk duo who will sing original songs.

From 4 till 5 there will be a break from live music while stalls finish trading for the day and pack up.

Then the evening starts off at 5 with Carley Knight getting the crowd to sing along to lots of old favourites. Travelling from across the bridge are Swansea band Windshake, and also playing are Llanelli new band Cease to see the Sun and popular local band The Vibe.

Izzy Khan, CETMA Diversity Officer said:

“We can’t thank all of the performers enough, they are all giving up their time to join organisations and residents to promote equality and diversity in Carmarthenshire!”

“We still have room for bands or singers, so please contact us if they’d like to perform.”

“The theme this year are the rainbow colours that make up the Pride flag, so come dressed up as colourful as you like!” Itinerary of events so far:
