Lucia & The Best Boys

Lucia & The Best Boys play Clwb Ifor Bach on Thursday 15 October, as part of Sŵn Festival. They're a Scottish indie rock band, and this is one of the many shows spread across Cardiff over the festival's opening weekend.

Sŵn reaches its 19th edition in 2026, and the festival runs from Thursday 15 October to Saturday 17 October, with acts playing at venues across the city. Clwb Ifor Bach is one of those venues, so you'll find Lucia & The Best Boys there on the first night. If you're planning to do more than one show, it's worth remembering that the festival doesn't stick to a single site — it's a city-wide thing, so you'll be moving between different spots over the three days.

Alongside the live bill, the Sŵn Connect conference runs on Friday 16 October at Cornerstone in Cardiff. It brings together seasoned industry voices and fresh perspectives for anyone looking to break into the music industry or understand more about how it works, so if you're in town for the music and have an interest in the business side of things, that's an easy addition to the weekend. Adam Williams, the festival's Head of Music, has described this year's line-up as one of its strongest to date.

Lucia & The Best Boys are Scottish indie rock, and their set at Clwb Ifor Bach kicks off the festival's run on Thursday 15 October. With Sŵn running through to Saturday 17 October across Cardiff, there's plenty more to work around if you're staying for the whole thing.
