The Love, Light & Song show is coming to Cardiff as part of just three outdoor dates in the UK in 2025. Blackweir Live has divided opinion in the capital with some people loving the large venue surrounded by greenery and others taking issue with its location and it's disruption to the park itself, but there's no denying that having Stevie Wonder headline the closing night is a serious booking. Stevie's been performing some live dates this summer already, the last being the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.

He's notched up 49 Top 40 singles, 32 number ones and has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has picked up 25 Grammy Awards over the years including the Lifetime Achievement Award along with a Golden Globe and an Oscar. His 1976 album Songs In The Key of Life is considered one of the greatest records ever made, and it's even been archived in the US Library of Congress for its cultural and historical significance so we can surely expect to hear tracks from this as part of the set. It's been more than 50 years since Stevie last performed in Cardiff. Back in 1965, at just 14 years old, he played the Capitol Theatre alongside The Supremes and Smokey Robinson as part of the Tamla Motown tour. He returned to the same venue in 1971 and later played The Vetch in Swansea in 1984 so it will hopefully be a huge full circle moment for him, and especially anyone who saw his previous shows at the gig on Wednesday.
