Noizzefest 2027 announces Ronker, De'Lour and five more for Cardiff return
Noizzefest has revealed the first seven bands for its 2027 edition, with Ronker and De'Lour taking headline slots when the festival returns to Cardiff's Womanby Street on 24 April.
The fourth edition of the one-day festival will bring 18 bands across three stages at Clwb Ifor Bach and Fuel Rock Club, with another 11 acts, including the main stage headliner, still to be announced.
The first seven names have now been announced, led by Belgian noise-rock outfit Ronker, who will headline the second stage at Clwb Ifor Bach, and South Wales metal band De'Lour, who take the headline slot at Fuel.
They'll be joined by Beyond Extinction, Dye, Breichiau Hir, AARONSON and Sans Froid, with another 11 bands still to come - including the festival's main stage headliner.

Three stages across Womanby Street
Noizzefest is heading into its fourth edition, with both rooms at Clwb Ifor Bach and nearby Fuel Rock Club being used for the one-day festival.
Ronker arrive in Cardiff following the release of their second album and a recent appearance at ArcTanGent. The Belgian band will close the Clwb second stage with the sort of loud, chaotic live show that should suit Noizzefest nicely.
Over at Fuel, De'Lour will represent the local scene with their mix of atmospheric and heavy metal.
Beyond Extinction bring a considerably nastier end of the spectrum to the main stage. The Essex band will have new EP Three Swords with them, while Bristol's Dye bring a grunge-heavy sound influenced by the late '90s and early 2000s.
There's plenty of Welsh representation in the first announcement too. Cardiff six-piece Breichiau Hir combine Welsh-language post-hardcore with alt-rock and punk, while instrumental band AARONSON return to Womanby Street with their atmospheric take on post-rock.
Completing the first wave are Bristol piano-led art-rock band Sans Froid, whose experimental sound adds something quite different to the opening batch of names.
Eleven more bands still to come
The seven announced acts make up less than half of the final bill.
Noizzefest says another 11 bands will be revealed over the coming months, including the Clwb Main Stage headliner, along with the full stage splits, timings and festival partners.
The festival is organised by the team behind alternative music website Noizze and the Noizze Podcast Network, with previous editions featuring the likes of Unpeople, Calva Louise, Knives, Love Rarely, Haggard Cat, Burner, Knife Bride and Vexed.
General admission tickets for Noizzefest 2027 are £34 plus booking fee.
