Third edition of the beach dance music festival on Swansea Bay, with Becky Hill headlining Friday and Billy Gillies headlining Saturday.
Tunes on the Bay returns to Swansea Bay beach from Friday 30 April to Sunday 2 May 2027. It's the third edition of the beach festival, and this time the focus is firmly on dance music across the whole weekend. The site can take up to 10,000 people a day, so there's plenty of room if you're bringing a crowd.
Friday's headliner is Becky Hill, a two-time BRIT winner who took Best Dance Act in 2022 and 2023. She first surfaced on The Voice UK and scored her first UK number one with 'Gecko (Overdrive)', her collaboration with Oliver Heldens. Saturday is a bigger day with two stages. The main stage is headlined by Billy Gillies, with a long run-up including FRQNC, Logic, Xtra, Hard, 3, Lisa Lashes, General Levy, Eddie Halliwell, Tidy Boys, DJ Hazard, FISH, 56, OCTAGON, Alex Kidd, DJ Hype, Judge Jules, Argy, X, Nicky Blackmarket, Will Atkinson, Cally & Juice, and KAOS Brothers, all hosted by Shocker. Over at the Kimmic stage, you'll find Liam Wilson and Ultrabeat, Ian Redman and MC. Sunday's headliner is still to be confirmed.

The festival is run by the Cornish company Tunes Festivals, the same team behind Tunes in the Dunes at Perranporth. They first applied to bring the format to Swansea in 2023 for a May 2024 date, before pushing it back a year. This is the third edition of the event, and the shift towards dance music is the main change this time around. It runs from Friday 30 April through to Sunday 2 May at Swansea Bay beach, with Becky Hill opening the weekend on Friday.
