FOR THE first time ever, the Summer Sessions are coming to Wales.

Summer Sessions were founded by DF Concerts in 2013 with the live music series originally taking place across Scotland, including Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Renowned for regularly showcasing a diverse roster of world-leading talent, previous headliners include Eminem, Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar, Florence + The Machine and David Guetta.

And now DF Concerts – along with Live Nation and event promoter Cuffe & Taylor – has announced that Summer Sessions will expand to five new destinations for 2024 - including Chepstow.

“We see an incredible opportunity to deliver world-leading live shows all around the UK under the Summer Sessions banner, and very much expect the events to become regular fixtures in music fans’ calendars.”

"Situated in the scenic Wye Valley, against a backdrop of lush, wooded hills, Chepstow Racecourse, one of the UK's premier racecourses, played host to Cuffe and Taylor shows for the first time in 2023, captivating 30,000 music enthusiasts.

"The series featured sold-out headline concerts by George Ezra and Lionel Richie. These remarkable events will now be celebrated under the banner of Chepstow Summer Sessions."
