CAERPHILLY plays host to many summer events, however this year will be the first time that a music festival will be held in Bargoed.
The Bargoed Summer Music Festival is set to take centre stage in Caerphilly in July.
The event will consist of a main music stage on Lowry Plaza and four busking areas throughout the town centre.
These will link in with The Square Royale, Murray’s and Bourton’s Live Music Café Bar to bring the town centre to life.
Funfair rides, food and drink stalls will be onsite, with Caerphilly County Borough Council specifying that alcohol is only to be consumed in the "designated drinking compounds".
The event is funded by Bargoed Town Council and organised by Caerphilly Council.
Details of the music and entertainment programme are to be released at a later date.
