After a sold out success in 2024, Noizze Fest put together another belter of a day in April 2025. The weather was on everyone’s side and so was the line up. Split across two venues/three stages, artists such as Falselove, Atlas Theory, Mallavora, Unpeople and Continents brought their talents over to Womanby Street.

During the first run in 2024, the festival was back and forth Fuel Rock Bar and The Moon Club. Since then, the Moon Club has closed it doors. The festival this year took place in Fuel Rock Bar and Clwb Ifor Bach, making use of all three stages.

Unfortunately, if you had accessibility needs, it made it incredibly difficult to watch any of the headliners as they were performing upstairs in Clwb Ifor Bach.

This was no fault of the Noizze team however, as they did try their best to make sure the festival was as accessible as possible despite the upstairs stage. Fingers crossed there are plans to build an elevator/lift in Clwb Ifor Bach soon.

If you missed tickets online, there were still opportunities to purchase on the door at a bargain of £33. There were 19 bands in total which equals roughly £1.70 per band if you caught every artist. I’m not sure why anyone would have wanted to have missed out on this day of music.

We’re keeping out fingers crossed here that there will be another year filled with music in the Welsh capital!
