One of the first live music events in Cardiff and Foals has blown it out of the park, or should we say castle…

The queues were long, an hour and a half long if we’re talking about the bar, but was it worth it?

With four pints in hand, lodged into a cardboard cup holder and ready to be carried across the field towards the blinding lights gleaming from the stage, people stopped and sat on the grass, ready for the show.

Everything Everything was supporting headliner Foals, kicking off the show, warming up the crowd, and getting legs moving and bodies into the groove of live music again.

The lines of the bar continued as the overwhelming number of people piled into the castle grounds, swirling around the field, people were eager and thirsty for a fun evening of normality.

As time moved, the line slowly edged closer and closer to the big neon sign of the bar. Strangers began to interact and connect; laughs were exchanged, and those who wouldn’t normally cross paths played football together.

Kicking back and forth across the field between lines two and three, both queues who equally waited patiently, anticipating a pint found solace in one another; a scenario you would normally witness in the schoolyard where children meet strangers and form friendships.
