Following an impressive year in 2025, Cardiff's Immersed Festival is set to return to Cardiff on Saturday, 7 March 2026 at Tramshed, showcasing an exciting mix of emerging and established talent, set across 4 stages.
Headlining this year’s festival are genre-defying six-piece CVC, who make their Immersed debut after a run of sold-out shows across the country. They’re set to lead an electrifying bill alongside indie favourites The Pill and Welsh Music Triskel Prize winners Source.
The festival has recently strengthened its reputation as a forward-thinking, industry-shaping initiative by winning the prestigious Teaching Innovation award at the University Alliance Awards - a recognition of its outstanding impact on higher education.
Curated by Creative Industries students at the University of South Wales and supported by Creative Wales, the event also raises vital awareness for Music Declares Emergency, the music industry’s climate-action charity.
This year’s theme, ‘Believe in Magic’, transforms the festival into a month-long celebration of imagination, wonder, and creative possibility. Participants are encouraged to challenge convention, spark curiosity, and use creativity as a force for hope and positive change.
More than thirty artists and bands will perform across four themed stages including the flagship Believe in Magic stage and the community-driven Togetherland stage, which will spotlight homegrown talent from Cardiff’s Sound Progression alongside international artists presented by BBC Horizons.
Huw Stephens, BBC Radio DJ and recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University of South Wales said: “Immersed has become a welcome addition to the live music scene in Wales. Its focus on talent, creativity and production is invaluable, and its work with students in nurturing their community is highly successful. The event itself is professionally delivered, with a special experience for those involved.”
