The Reytons

The Reytons play Utilita Arena Cardiff on Friday 23 October, part of their first world tour. The Rotherham rock band has been building a following since they formed in 2017, and this is the first time they're taking the show overseas. They've spent five years flirting with international dates, and this tour is the first time they're committing to a full run across different territories.

They're also coming off a new record: A Love Letter To A Broken Town, their fourth studio album. It's the latest in a run of four albums since they started, so there's a fair bit of material to draw from. The set will pull from that and the earlier records, with the new songs sitting alongside the older ones they've played on the road over the last few years.

They describe their growth as coming from "blue-collar grit and determination," and that's a good way to sum up how they've worked their way up from a small town in South Yorkshire to a world tour. They've built their following on their own terms, and this is the first time they're stepping out of the UK for a full tour.

They're not the only ones on the bill: Cruz Beckham and Alex Spencer both support them on the night. The whole thing kicks off at 18:30 at Utilita Arena Cardiff on Mary Ann Street, Cardiff CF10 2EQ.
