To celebrate the return of FOCUS Wales, we’ve pulled together an essentials playlist featuring some of the most exciting artists hitting the stages in Wrexham this May. Now in its 15th year, the festival continues to be a vital platform for emerging talent—bringing together over 250 artists and 400 industry delegates from across the globe for three days of music, ideas, and connection.

From raucous punk sets to intimate folk, forward-thinking pop to global sounds, this year’s lineup is as diverse as it is electric. Whether you're heading to North Wales or tuning in from afar, this playlist is your perfect primer for one of the UK’s most important showcases of new music.
