For the first time in ten years, The County Ground will host a major music event in Swindon in May 2024 next year.
The County Ground, home of Swindon Town last hosted 'The Big Summer Session' in 2013 which saw Peter Andre headline the event.
It was announced in September 2023, that Swindon Town had plans to host a concert at the stadium when we asked for community and fans feedback on who they'd like to see perform at SN1 and our survey was filled out over 3,500 times by those located in Swindon, Wiltshire, Reading, Bristol and other M4 neighbouring Town's.
Swindon Town is now delighted to announce that we will be hosting two events on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th of May 2024, May Bank Holiday weekend next year.
Our weekend event will begin on Saturday 25th May with, Chris Moyles presenting '90s Hangover' which will see the former Radio 1 DJ, begin his Euros Special tour ahead of the UEFA Euro 2024 competition.
The following event will be for those aged 18+ and further details on the event can be found here.
Our second event will be on Sunday 26th May, presenting 'Could Be Real' Tribute Festival, bringing you The UK’s Best Tribute artists.
This event will be available for those aged 12+ and further details on the event can be found here.
Swindon Town, Chief Commercial Officer, James Watts on the upcoming event: "We are delighted to announce this huge event for the people of Wiltshire.
This shows the capabilities of The County Ground in being more than just a Football Stadium and we look forward to a great event next May."
CEO, Anthony Hall added: "We are delighted to announce that the County Ground will hold its first concert in 11 years and we look forward to welcoming as many people as possible to the two-day event being held over the May Bank Holiday weekend with a great line up of artists.
