As the Welsh music industry's annual showcase event, FOCUS Wales' lineup is predictably flush with a brilliant cross section of everything exciting across the country's vibrant and diverse scenes.
It's also a hotspot for some of the best new sounds from across the far-flung corners of the globe and for three days each May, Wrexham – the largest city in North Wales – becomes a hub of international activity with Korean rappers and Candian folk singers rubbing shoulder with Maori rock bands and Spanish label owners.
This year, more than 250 artists will hit Wrexham to perform across 20 stages, with showcases curated by the likes of CNM France – including Quinquis, Nastjyjoe and Servo playing sets - and Canada's Breakout West, featuring Sam Tudor and Kimmortalfrom British Columbia, Sunglaciers from Alberta, and Bitterfly from Saskatchewan.
It remains one of Europe's most finely curated and warmly human showcases - as much about the people as the music – and our festival picks represent a cross section everything that's great in music right now.
