Welsh music history will be made in Llangollen this summer as Super Furry Animals prepare to perform their landmark Welsh-language album Mwng live in full for the very first time.

The one-off performance will take place at Llangollen Pavilion on Thursday, July 2, as part of TK Maxx presents Live at Llangollen, with final tickets now on sale.

Originally released in May 2000, Mwng became a defining moment not only for the band but for Welsh-language music, reaching the UK Top 20 despite being sung entirely in Welsh — a rare feat that underlined its cultural significance far beyond Wales.

Now, more than two decades on, fans will have the chance to experience the album as a complete live journey, from the opening burst of Drygioni through to standout tracks like Ysbeidiau Heulog, before closing with the atmospheric Gwreiddiau Dwfn/Mawrth Oer ar y Blaned Neifion.

The Llangollen show will also feature a second set packed with fan favourites and career-spanning hits, celebrating a band whose genre-defying sound and experimental style have earned them a global following since forming in Cardiff in 1993.

Joining them on the bill are rising Welsh acts Panic Shack and Melin Melyn, adding to what organisers say will be a standout night for Welsh music.

The performance comes after huge demand for the band’s 2026 live dates, including sold-out shows in Llandudno and Cardiff, and will be one of only a handful of appearances in Wales this year.

Artistic Director of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, Dave Danford, said the moment had been years in the making.

“Super Furry Animals performing Mwng in full is something fans have hoped to experience for years, and we’re thrilled it’s happening here in Llangollen,” he said. “It’s a landmark Welsh-language album and hearing it brought to life in North Wales will be a truly special moment.”

The event forms part of a packed summer programme at the Pavilion, which continues to attract major names across music and entertainment, reinforcing its reputation as one of Wales’ leading live venues.

For fans of the band — and of Welsh music more broadly — the July show offers a rare opportunity to witness a culturally significant album performed as it was intended: in full, live, and in the heart of North Wales.
