Gold-certified hard rockers Alter Bridge are set to headline their inaugural ‘Blackbird Festival’ at Cardiff Castle in Cardiff, UK on June 27th, 2026. So far, the festival lineup includes support from Skindred, Florence Black, and Cardinal Black, with additional opening acts to be announced in the coming months.
Pre-sale tickets go live next Tuesday, August 19th, at 9:30am local time via depotlive.co.uk/blackbirdfestival2026, with general on-sale beginning Friday, August 22nd, also at 9:30am.

Vocalist Myles Kennedy commented on the festival’s launch:
“We realized we haven’t played Wales in over 7 years. To make up for lost time, we thought it would be cool to do something extra special. So with that said, we are stoked to announce The Blackbird Festival. Not only does this commemorate twenty-plus years of being a band, but it’s also a way to show our appreciation for the fans in Wales who’ve patiently waited for our return.”
Alter Bridge’s self-titled eighth studio album is set for release on January 9th, 2026 via Napalm Records.
