Focus Wales has added Richard Hawley, Gruff Rhys, The Joy Formidable and Tim Burgess to its next line-up after being rescheduled from this year to October 2021.

“Focus Wales strives to be an event which is inclusive, accessible, and a safe space, for our entire community of local, national, and international performers, speakers, visitors, and staff,” organisers of the Wrexham event have said. “With this in mind, due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, we have taken the very difficult decision to postpone our 10th edition of focus wales until 7th – 9th October 2021.”

“This is the very last thing we want to be doing, but sadly we feel it’s the only responsible option open to us at this point in time, as everyone’s health has to be the priority. This will be the first time in 10 years that we’ll have gone without the festival, and it’s difficult to put into words how the team is feeling right now. At the same time, we’re more determined than ever to deliver a very special 10th edition of focus wales in 2021 that can truly be the celebration we all want it to be.”
