UK: Hard rock titans Alter Bridge to host their own music fest next year

Orlando, Aug 13 (UNI) Hard rock juggernauts Alter Bridge are now hosting their own music festival in the UK next year, taking over Cardiff Castle in Wales for the inaugural Blackbird Festival, reports Louder Sound.

The Blackbird Festival consolidates what will be a busy 2026 for Alter Bridge, who will kick off the year with the release of a brand new, self-titled studio album on January 9, marking the band's eighth full-length LP.

Having quite a fan base in the UK, even having performed in the Royal Albert Hall, the festival will take place on June 27, 2026, and supported by a Welsh-heavy bill, has been put together to make up for the fact that Alter Bridge have neglected Wales a little on recent trips to Europe.

“We realised we haven’t played in Wales in over seven years,” says frontman Myles Kennedy. “To make up for lost time, we thought it would be cool to do something extra special. So, with that said, we are stoked to announce

“The Blackbird Festival. Not only does this commemorate 20-plus years of being a band, but it’s also a way to show our appreciation for the fans in Wales who’ve patiently waited for our return.”

Alter Bridge, who are known for their highly famous songs like ‘Blackbird’, ‘Isolated’, ‘Water Rising’, ‘Metalingus’ among others, are known for their hard and heavy riffs, guitar solos, soaring vocals, dynamic songwriting, and frequent flirting with heavy metal, possessing a loyal fan base among rockers.
