🎶 EXCITING NEWS FROM LLANGOLLEN INTERNATIONAL MUSICAL EISTEDDFOD 🎶

We’re delighted to announce that Artistic Director Dave Danford has extended his contract, as we head into our 79th year in 2026.

Since taking the helm in 2023, Dave has transformed the festival’s creative direction — from unforgettable orchestral collaborations to spectacular West End-style concerts.

With our 2026 programme being announced very soon, and the 80th anniversary celebrations in 2027 on the horizon, the best is yet to come! 🌟

🎶 NEWYDDION CYFFROUS O’R EISTEDDFOD GERDDOROL RYNGWLADOL LLANGOLLEN 🎶

Rydym wrth ein bodd yn cyhoeddi bod y Cyfarwyddwr Artistig Dave Danford wedi ymestyn ei gontract, wrth i ni fynd i mewn i'n 79fed flwyddyn yn 2026.

Ers cymryd yr awenau yn 2023, mae Dave wedi trawsnewid cyfeiriad creadigol yr ŵyl — o gydweithrediadau cerddorfaol bythgofiadwy i gyngherddau ysblennydd arddull y West End.

Gyda'n rhaglen ar gyfer 2026 yn cael ei chyhoeddi'n fuan iawn, a'r dathliadau pen-blwydd yn 80 oed yn 2027 ar y gorwel, mae'r gorau eto i ddod! 🌟

In some down time at rehearsals for my @llangollen_eisteddfod earlier this year with @theabsoluteorchestra, we asked around about star signs and it seems like we all missed horoscope class 😂🤘🏼
