The Cardiff Castle Concert, hosted by Aled Jones and Shan Cothi, will feature live performances by some of Wales’ best-known singers and entertainers, along with choirs, bands and orchestras.
But everything will end in time for the partygoers gathered to see the concert of the Festa al Palau on the big screens installed on the lawn of the Castle.
