Public Service Broadcasting will play a world exclusive one-off show at Cardiff Castle on Saturday 31 July 2027, performing their album Every Valley in full to mark its 10th anniversary.
The cinematic rock four-piece will bring the show to DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle. The album, recorded in the former mining and steelworks town of Ebbw Vale, traces the rise and decline of the Welsh coal industry. To coincide with its anniversary next July, the band have chosen the Welsh capital for the only full performance of the record.
Presale tickets go on sale at 10am on Wednesday 18 November via Ticketmaster. General sale opens at 10am on Friday 20 November through depotlive.co.uk and ticketmaster.co.uk.
Frontman J. Willgoose, Esq. said: “We’ve been lucky to play some memorable gigs in amazing places before, and this will be right up there with them. This record means a lot to us, and we know it means a lot to our fans, too. We hope to put on a really special show and to make it one to remember.”
The band have been together since 2009, led by instrumentalist and auteur J. Willgoose, Esq. Their conceptual records have taken in the climb of Everest and the confrontation with Nazism on 2013’s Inform-Educate-Entertain, and the space race on 2015 breakthrough The Race For Space. Every Valley was their first studio album to reach the UK Top 5. It was followed by Bright Magic in 2021 and 2024’s The Last Flight, which focused on the final voyage of pioneering American aviator Amelia Earhart.
Public Service Broadcasting are known for immersive live shows and have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most ambitious live acts. In September they played the biggest headline show of their career, a sold-out night at London’s Alexandra Palace. The band also appeared at Wychwood Festival in 2025, where they returned after saying it had been too long since their last visit. With a world exclusive now booked for Cardiff, organisers expect fans from across Wales and beyond to travel for the night. A video for the announcement is on YouTube.
