The Line Up
2017
Pride Cymru brought back the Big Weekend music festival and included their LGBT Pride Parade to reform it as 'Pride Cymru's Big Weekend'. Cardiff City Hall's Lawn, which was located at the end of the official Pride Parade route, was the venue. [1]
2012
The Cardiff Big Weekend, which is usually held the second weekend in August as part of Cardiff Festival, was "rested" for a year in 2012 due to the Olympic Football games taking place at the Millennium Stadium (in Cardiff) on August 9 and 10.[2]
In 2013, the music festival was axed and replaced with a temporary 'Beach ' area in Cardiff Bay 's Roald Dahl Plass .[3]
