Melin Melyn
with Morn + Internet Fatigue + Betsan + Farai KD
Monday 12th October 2026
Cardiff Music City Festival in partnership with Horizons/Gorwelion and Beacons Cymru present: Melin Melyn. They are more than just a band. They’re world-builders; storytellers absorbing various elements of the increasingly strange times around us and using them to create fables that ruminate on grief, love, and hope.
Their debut album Mill On The Hill sees the band jump between surf-rock, country, prog-rock and psychedelia with the grace and skill of a band with numerous records under their belt, held together by an efficacious and fantastical thematic principle. Melin Melyn translates to ‘Yellow Mill’ in Welsh, and on this album the Welsh six-piece invite the audience into the world they have quite literally built around them. Mill On The Hill transports the listeners to the utopian ‘Melin Village’, a Seussian world where townsfolk “bask in the beauty of song.” Support comes from MORN who emerged from the farmlands of Monmouth, South Wales. Two sets of siblings crafting a compelling blend of what they refer to as “doom over beautiful chords.” Announcing their arrival with the breathless, runaway train chaoticism of ‘Modern Man’, MORN weave spiky guitar passages and rumbling fuzz, with an urgency that feels as though they can’t get to the end of the song fast enough. The line up is completed with Internet Fatigue, Betsan and Farai KD
Josh Garrels
