Craig David to Headline Cardiff Castle Festival in 2027

Craig David is set to headline the 2027 edition of Depot in the Castle, which returns to Cardiff Castle on Saturday, July 17. The announcement confirms the R&B star as the festival's main act for next year's event.

Festival History and Line-Up

Since its launch in 2018, the music festival has drawn iconic acts to the Welsh capital, including Kaiser Chiefs, Jess Glynne and, more recently, The Wombats, who performed at the event earlier this year. The full 2027 line-up and activities have not yet been revealed, with further details expected at a later date.

Craig David presents TS5, his own live show where he sings, DJs and MCs his way through UK garage, R&B and house. Audiences can expect a nostalgic mix of his own hits alongside the party anthems that defined the early 00s.

Career Highlights and Event Details

He is best known for tracks like 7 Days, Insomnia, Don't Love You No More and featuring on the hit song Re-Wind by Artful Dodger. His debut studio album, Born to Do It, was released in 2000, and since then he has made more than 15 million album sales.

The singer will headline a day full of music, family entertainment and street food against the backdrop of Cardiff Castle. The website reads: "What started as a party in his Miami penthouse now plays festivals and arenas around the world, and next summer it's back inside the castle walls."

Ticket Information

Presale tickets are available to purchase from 10am on Thursday, November 19, with general sale taking place the following day on Friday, November 20. Fans can sign up for Depot in the Castle's pre-sale ahead of the on-sale dates.
