WALES’ premier family-friendly festival, In It Together, is set to make waves next year as it announces its stellar lineup for the 2024 edition. Returning to Margam (near Port Talbot) for its third instalment from Friday, May 24, to Sunday, May 26, the festival has confirmed three top-tier headliners for its Parc Stage – Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, Sugababes, and Dizzee Rascal.
The festival, which first graced the Queen’s Jubilee bank holiday in 2022 and returned for a triumphant encore on the late May bank holiday this year, is gearing up for an unforgettable weekend. Organisers have strategically selected a diverse trio of acts, ensuring a musical feast for festival-goers spanning generations.
Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, the soulful sensation whose real name is Rory Charles Graham, will kick off the festival on Friday. Known for hits like ‘Human’ and the Ivor Novello award-winning ‘Giant’ with Calvin Harris, his performance promises a soul-stirring start to the weekend.
Saturday sees the iconic Sugababes take the Parc Stage, bringing their catalogue of chart-toppers from the early 2000s, including ‘Push The Button,’ ‘About You Now,’ and ‘Round Round.’ With six UK number one singles and multi-platinum albums under their belt, the Sugababes are set to ignite the festival with their infectious energy.
Closing the festival on Sunday is none other than Dizzee Rascal, who recently mesmerised audiences at Cardiff’s Utilita Arena. Known for anthems like ‘Bonkers,’ ‘Holiday,’ and ‘Bassline Junkie,’ Dizzee Rascal is poised to deliver a high-energy finale that will leave festival-goers buzzing.
Tickets are available for both the entire weekend and individual days, allowing attendees to customise their experience. While set lists remain under wraps, anticipation is building for the headliners to showcase their chart-toppers and fan favourites.
In addition to the musical extravaganza, In It Together is reinforcing its reputation as Wales’ biggest family festival. The latest update from organisers highlights a diverse lineup of artists, including Cat Burns, Eliza Rose, Craig David’s TS5, James Morrison, and many more joining the festivities.
To cater to diverse tastes and budgets, the festival is launching the Kids Go Free campaign, where children can attend for free with a family ticket. With over 150 artists performing across multiple stages, families can immerse themselves in a weekend of music and entertainment, complemented by over 100 free family activities.
The festival grounds will feature a range of attractions, from a climbing wall and outdoor cinema to a street food village and extreme sports arena with BMX and parkour shows. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or a culinary connoisseur, In It Together Festival aims to provide an all-encompassing experience.
As the countdown to the 2024 edition begins, In It Together Festival is shaping up to be a not-to-be-missed event, promising a perfect blend of music, entertainment, and family-friendly fun. And for those eager to kick off the festivities a day early, the Thursday Campers Party, headlined by Natasha Bedingfield, offers a prelude to the weekend’s excitement, featuring a stellar lineup of artists to set the stage for an unforgettable In It Together experience.
