Ethel Cain

June 19 @ 17:00 - 23:00

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.

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.

London trio bar italia complete the bill, bringing their hook-laden songs and deadpan romantic lyricism to the Castle grounds. The band — Nina Cristante, Jezmi Fehmi and Sam Fenton — have carved out a reputation for organic musical dexterity and a unique three-way vocal dynamic that sets them apart from the contemporary band scene.
