Motorists have been warned of a series of road closures which will be in place when Gerry Cinnamon plays his long-awaited gig in Swansea. The Scottish singer, known for hits such as Belter, Canter, Sometimes and Ghost, will entertain Welsh fans in what promises to be his biggest performance in the country to date.
The gig takes place at Singleton Park on Saturday, June 4. The venue has a long history of hosting major music gigs including Stereophonics, Foals, Noel Gallagher, Olly Murs and much more. And it is not the only big gig heading to the park this year, we'll also see the likes of Nile Rodgers & Chic, Anne-Marie and Paul Weller there before 2022 is out.
