Whether you dance along to the beat or sing your heart out to the chorus, music is something that has the ability to bring all different types of people together.

Although things have come a long way since LPs and cassette players, technology advancements aren't quite ready for time travel, so stepping back into your younger years is made a reality through banging tunes and hearing songs you had almost forgotten.

After selling out several weeks in advance last year, Big Valleys Throwback Festival is making its much-anticipated return this April.

With more big names making an appearance, expect some proper throwbacks like Castles In The Sky, Dreamer and Tell It To My Heart!

Also making its debut to the Ebbw Vale Sports Centre is the Big Valleys Tribute Fest, featuring some of the most talented tribute bands from around the UK.

Why do we build castles in the sky?

Featuring a jam-packed afternoon of all your nineties and noughties favourites, the Big Valleys Throwback Festival promises to be an incredible celebration of music from simpler times.

Taking you on the most amazing trip down memory lane on Saturday, April 20, the festival features big names such including Ian Van Dahl, Big Brovaz, Lisa Lashes, Darren Styles, Kelly Llorenna, Booty Luv and Tameko Star from Livin Joy.

Headlining the Throwback Festival, Darren Styles will be up on stage performing some of his greatest hits, including Save Me, You're My Angel and Us Against the World.

With early bird tickets already sold out, the Ebbw Vale Sports Centre is set to host another knock-out event with lasers, wild confetti and talented dancers all adding to the throwback atmosphere.

While the incredible tunes take you back to the good old days, a fantastic array of food vendors including Little Dragon Pizza Van, Beefy Boys from Hereford and a huge bar will make sure you're kept fuelled and refreshed.

The bars across both exciting events are supplied by Penmaenau Bars, a family-run business that has been established for over 20 years. Penmaenau Bars supply bars across the United Kingdom and cater for all events, be it weddings, shows, dances and festivals.

Penmaenau Bars supply bars and highly trained staff at the Big Valleys Throwback Festival and the Big Valleys Tribute Fest.

If all of that wasn't enough, you can even purchase yourself some official Big Valleys Throwback and Big Valleys Tribute Fest merchandise to commemorate the spectacular event.

With last year's Big Valleys Throwback Festival being a complete sell-out and headlined by the world-famous Cascada, this year promises to be even more epic thanks to the addition of an official afterparty, which is being held at The Garw nightclub in Abertillery.

We will rock you
