Local rockers Who Knows Didley? will be performing a hometown show at the event. The quartet create a hard rock cocktail by blending modern sounds with classic rock. They recently supported Newport reggae-rockers Skindred at Cwmbran Stadium's own Stadium Rock's all-dayer and have regularly excited crowds around South Wales and further afield.
They will be kicking off their 2020 live schedule at the Dragonffli before heading to Cardiff's legendary rock bar Fuel, Cheltenham and Abertillery's The Dollshouse.
