FOCUS Wales is a showcase festival taking over different venues around the town of Wrexham – so if you’re looking for a weekend of drinking tinnies by your tent, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re all about musical discovery, this three-day auditory feast spotlights all sorts of exciting emerging talent from Wales and beyond, alongside well-curated headliners (last year saw Squid and Billy Nomates top the bill).
Big names: Deerhoof, The Mysterines, The Royston Club, The Bug Club and more.
Required apparel: Bucket hats.
Don’t say: ‘Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.’
Various venues, Wrexham, North Wales. May 9-11.
