Teddy Swims at Blackweir Live updates, road closures, and where to park for gig

Grammy-nominated star Teddy Swims is set to follow in the footsteps of The Cure this week as he takes to the stage at Blackweir Live tonight, Friday, 26 June. The singer is embarking on a string of outdoor concerts and festival appearances across the UK and Ireland throughout summer 2026, with a scheduled appearance at Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields among the highlights.

The American singer first came to prominence through his YouTube covers before going on to rack up a string of chart successes and sell-out international tours. Fans attending the concert can expect to hear hits like Lose Control, Guilty and The Door, as he will be joined on stage by his band Freak Freely, seamlessly fusing R&B, soul and pop.

Doors for the event will open at 5pm, as Teddy Swims will be joined by Jordan Rakei and Lauren Spencer Smith as his support acts for the gig. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What’s On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here.

Having opened its doors last year, Blackweir has swiftly cemented its reputation as Cardiff’s foremost live music venue, born from a partnership between DEPOT Live and prominent UK promoters Cuffe and Taylor.

Nick Saunders, founder of DEPOT Live, said: “This is another huge headline show for Blackweir and Cardiff. Teddy Swims is an absolute vocal powerhouse who has enjoyed an incredible rise to success so we are thrilled to be adding him to our line up for 2026.

“What a glorious summer we are going to have in Cardiff!”.
