Music legends Blondie are heading to the Welsh capital next summer, for what promises to be a sensational night at Cardiff Castle.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame icons – whose chart-topping and era-defining career has seen them sell more than 40 million albums worldwide – will play the iconic outdoor venue on Friday 16th June.
Undeniably one of the most trailblazing and influential bands of all time, Blondie is pioneering frontwoman/songwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist/conceptual mastermind Chris Stein and powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, along with band mates bassist Glen Matlock, guitarist Tommy Kessler and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen.
Founded in New York in 1974 Blondie became one of biggest punk/pop crossovers the world had ever seen. From an irreverent Lower East Side punk outfit to bona fide international ambassadors of New York cool.
With such timeless hits as the ground-breaking rock-disco hybrid Heart of Glass, the equally influential hip-hop fantasia Rapture, the stalker-love song One Way Or Another and the lilting calypso The Tide Is High, their sound is unmistakeable and timeless.
And glowing reviews from their 2022 live shows – packed with such anthems as Hanging on the Telephone, Sunday Girl, Picture This, Mother, Maria, Call Me and Atomic – show they retain their fearless spirit and genius.
Blondie are being brought to the capital by DEPOT Live. DEPOT founder Nick Saunders said:
“We absolutely love to bring true music legends to Cardiff. For the last four decades, Blondie’s influence has shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion and art. Their live shows continue to be incredible and it is going to be amazing watching them perform in our city as the sun sets on the Castle grounds.”
Tickets went on sale at 9am Friday December 2nd
