American singer-songwriter Ethel Cain will bring her acclaimed Willoughby Tucker Forever tour to Cardiff Castle next summer, joined by special guest Anna von Hausswolff.
Following a rapturously received US leg and sell-out shows across the UK in 2025, Cain is stepping up to some of her biggest headline performances yet. Cardiff fans will get the chance to experience the Florida-born artist’s cinematic soundscapes live in the iconic open-air setting of the Castle grounds.
Her latest album, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You — praised by NME, The Guardian, The New York Times and more — expands on the mythology first introduced in her 2022 breakthrough Preacher’s Daughter, cementing her as one of the most compelling new voices in modern music.
Joining her on the night is universally acclaimed Swedish musician and composer Anna von Hausswolff. Her sixth album ICONOCLASTS — which features Ethel Cain on the single Aging Young Women — showcases an artist of vast, unpredictable creativity, always pushing forward and always unmissable live.
From intimate beginnings recording in a church basement to international recognition on festival stages, fashion runways and critical “album of the year” lists, Ethel Cain has become a global phenomenon.
