Cadstock Countdown | Vale | Local News

Grab your mad Merch, listen to the lush line-up, give our sponsors a shout out, clap for our concessions, and thank all those others behind the scenes.

It’s absolutely astounding that our cracking community have pulled off one of the biggest comebacks our town has ever seen.

Good work everyone.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

What a wonderful weekender this turning out to be – especially now we’ve made our Merch widely available to all our loyal Cadstockers.

So, catch yourself a cracking brand new design, limited run, Cadstock Bucket Hat priced at just £8.

And why not pick up a cool colourful Tee to complement the perfect Festival goes gear too.

Designed by Maria Farmer, both will look smart at our super saved by the bell freeMusic Festival this Summer.

Our free, fully-inclusive, family-friendly music magic kicks off on July 22nd and we want to see as many of you as possible proudly wearing the groovy garments to show your support.

A colourful bargain at just £8 for the hats, and £15 for the Tees, why not even dig deep and see part of the cost as an ‘entry fee.’

Sound like a plan?

Both are available at: The Bapman Burger Van (in the car park of LBS Builders Merchants on Cardiff Road) between 9 and 1.30 Monday to Friday. Call 07708 685753 and reserve yours.

Then wear with pride as you listen to our line up of brilliant bands to rock us through the wild and wonderful weekender.

Saturday kicks off with a grand opening by Barry Town Mayor Cllr Ian Johnson, followed by seven super bands – ending the evening with the superb Stonehouse.

Sunday sees the Tenovus Choir sing us into the sunshine followed by five fabulous bands -topped off with Tumbling Dice.

So dust off your Barrybados bucket hats, stockpile that Home Bargains sun burn saver, and keep that Cadstock Tee crisp – it’s going to be a goodie!

See you there!

Speak soon.
