Nothing demonstrates what the festival is about better than the Oasis centre in Cardiff, an organisation supporting refugees and asylum seekers, whose members will collaborate with the world-renowned Welsh National Opera to create a stirring musical moment in the build-up to one of Cymru’s matches.

Gŵyl Cymru is a festival that embraces community and celebrates diversity. Where the local meets the global. A nationwide comedy tour in the build-up to the tournament will feature a Welsh comedian lining up against fellow acts from Japan, France and England, ensuring an international flavour. Iranian folk singers, exiled from their homeland, will perform at events in the build-up to Cymru v Iran alongside Welsh acts. It is a chance for the nation to open its arms to the world and also to reflect Wales’ best values internationally. FOCUS Wales gigs in New York and Montreal will showcase urban acts Lemfreck and Mace the Great, and the Red Wall’s official brass band The Barry Horns will blast out fan favourites in Dubai.
