The rock and indie festival may only be in its second year but this won't be the first time that Welsh band Kids In Glass Houses have been involved. Lead vocalist Aled Phillips spoke about how “We curated a stage at Merthyr Rock last year and spent the day at the festival having a great time. Now this year we’re honoured to be playing what is set to be a fantastic weekend".

Earlybird tickets for the festival are now available for £55 (details on day tickets expected to be released later). There's no camping on-site however so it's up to you whether you want to go glamping in a hotel, stay on the sofa of friends and family or set up your tent in a near-by field (Grawen Farm) for £15.
