This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Olympic Torch as it passes through the streets of Cardiff before it arrives in Cooper’s Field for a spectacular Evening Celebration where the winners of Cardiff Council’s ‘Big Gig’ Battle of The Bands competition will get to perform alongside some big name acts.
Rock band You Me At Six, Brit award winner Emeli Sandé and Cardiff-born Kids In Glass Houses will perform at the free event in Cooper's Field which will be held as part of the Olympic torch relay celebrations. The ticketed show, for 16,000 people, will be held on 25 May as Cardiff hosts the London 2012 Olympic torch relay.
The torch will be in Wales between May 25, when it arrives in Monmouth, and May 30, when it leaves after visiting Welshpool. The Olympic Flame is expected to travel for 70 days an estimated 8,000 miles around the UK giving thousands of communities and individuals their moment to shine a light on the best their area has to offer -- including celebrations of local culture, breathtaking landscapes and dynamic urban areas as the Olympic Flame comes to a place near them.
The Olympic Flame will arrive at the Olympic Stadium on 27 July 2012 for the lighting of the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony, signifying the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
