World-famous RAF team The Red Arrows are set to thrill crowds at Swansea’s Wales National Airshow this summer.
They are the first big name to be confirmed for the free-entry spectacular, due to take place over Swansea Bay on Saturday 5 July, and Sunday 6 July.
The annual show, which takes place over the bay using its 4 miles of coastline and attracts over 200,000 residents and visitors from across Wales and the UK, is organised by Swansea Council.
The Red Arrows, renowned for their breathtaking aerial displays and precision flying, will perform on both Saturday and Sunday this year, treating spectators to their trademark formations, heart-stopping manoeuvres, and dazzling trails of red, white, and blue smoke.
On the ground, visitors will be able to enjoy a variety of entertainment options, including trade stalls, delicious food and drink, live music performances, and fun activities for all ages. The event promises an action-packed weekend for families, aviation enthusiasts, and tourists alike.
Councillor Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events, and Tourism at Swansea Council, said: “It’s amazing to have the Red Arrows back again, and great to have them perform on both days at the 2025 Wales National Airshow.
“Their displays never fail to captivate the audience, and we know that visitors will be just as thrilled as ever. This event is a highlight of Swansea’s summer calendar, and we’re expecting another fantastic turnout this year.”
In addition to the Red Arrows, more thrilling air displays and ground attractions are set to be announced in the coming weeks, with previous years featuring iconic aircraft such as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the RAF Typhoon, and a variety of international aerobatic teams.
