The Llangollen International Eisteddfod has put tickets on sale for its packed daytime events, which take place from 8 to 13 July 2025.
In 2025, 4,000 competitors from choirs, dance groups and ensembles will head to Llangollen from around the world, along with 57 groups from across the UK.
This represents the highest number of international competitors for many years, as the town once again welcomes the world to Wales.
Groups confirmed for Llangollen 2025 come from as far away as Burundi, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Kurdistan, Morocco, New Zealand, Philippines, Portugal, Républic of Congo, Singapore, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, Ukraine, USA and Zimbabwe.
There will also be 22 non-competing groups bringing a variety of choirs, dance and ensembles.
The festival’s choral, dance and instrumental competitions are hosted in its iconic 3,500-seater pavilion from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13 July 2025. In addition to 25 world-class competitions, there will also be plenty to see and do on the Eisteddfod field.
There will be two outside performance stages, featuring live music from across the world, as well as local bands from North East Wales.
There will be showcases from Community Rhythm and Roots Wales (where 6 groups from across the country will perform), a Welsh language afternoon (featuring up and coming Welsh Language performers), and much more.
The annual peace message will be presented on Wednesday 9 and Saturday 12 July and is the focal point of a number of activities promoting the Eisteddfod’s message of world peace.
In addition, there will be pop-up performance areas, a dedicated Kids Zone (featuring fun and educational activities, including circus skills), and a sensory den (providing a safe space for those who need it). There will also be arts and crafts from local makers, along with plenty to eat and drink.
Chair of the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, John Gambles said, “Our 2025 Eisteddfod will be much more than a series of amazing concerts – our field will be a hive of colour, music, and dancing. There really is something for everybody. Our daytime in Llangollen will be as vibrant as our evening concerts.
“This year, we have had an amazing number of applications from across the world. It’s clear that the Llangollen International Eisteddfod still reaches out to the world, and our festival in 2025 will be bigger and better than ever.”
