Summer Sessions are back for 2026

The Summer Sessions returns for the forth successive year, it’s third at Beechwood Park. The event that started off as a training event for our volunteers has quickly become one of the biggest outdoor events the city has to offer. 

We are delighted once again to be partnering with Dirty Carrot Records and Beechwood Park Community Group on this event and also new in 2026 we are pleased to also be working alongside Big Food Festival to bring you Summer Sessions XL. 

Tickets to the weekend are completely free which you can purchase by clicking here 

Check back at 7pm every day leading up to the event to find out who is playing and learn a little bit more about them. 

Daisy Mae

She is an indie-folk artist creating dreamy, acoustic-led songs with soft vocals and diary-like lyrics about girlhood, growing pains, love, and friendship. Blending bedroom production with stripped-back arrangements, she’s performed at local festivals and continues to release new music throughout 2026. In springtime, she released her debut single, “Reykjavik,” marking the beginning of her journey as a recording artist.

Blino

He is a Soul/folk Singer/Songwriter from South Wales. Wielding 15 years of performing, writing and producing experience with various projects, Tobias Robertson has finally found his true voice.

Alys Hardy

The award winning artist will electrify you with her folky infused rhythms and passionate vocals. Having toured extensively across the UK and parts of northern Europe, multi-instrumentalist Alys is the embodiment of a free spirit with a musical style that spans blues, folk, pop and soul.

Yr Argraff

They are reletive newcomers to the scene, Yr Argraff are most definitely making the case for Newport’s band of the year, rapidly establishing their early presence in Welsh Language and rock scenes. Taking ownership of their heritage, Yr Argraff meaning ‘The Impression’, dare to tread new grounds as their upcoming EP introduces their reflections, in both Welsh and English, to the diverse audiences of Wales.
