Experience Cerys Hafana live on August 8th

Cerys Hafana is scheduled to perform at the National Eisteddfod of Wales, held in Llantood, United Kingdom on August 8th, 2026. Hafana’s musical style blends traditional Welsh folk influences with contemporary arrangements, often incorporating elements of jazz and classical music. Her vocal performances are frequently described as emotive and characterized by a distinctive timbre, and she often performs both in Welsh and English. She is known for interpreting both traditional Welsh songs and original compositions reflecting Welsh culture and landscape.

The National Eisteddfod of Wales is a festival celebrating the culture of Wales, particularly its language, music, literature and performance arts. The Eisteddfod's origins trace back to 1170, though the modern form developed in the 19th century. It alternates annually between North and South Wales, with the host location chosen several years in advance.

The festival features competitions in various disciplines – singing, instrumental performance, poetry recitation – alongside a vibrant programme of concerts, theatre productions, exhibitions and social events. It is considered one of Europe’s largest cultural festivals and plays a significant role in promoting the Welsh language and arts nationally and internationally.
