MOLD’S very own music festival returns after a two-year hiatus this coming May Bank Holiday weekend.
Live on the Square, an event organised by volunteers Pete Dando and Jim Evans with the help of Mold Town Council, will be held on the town’s Daniel Owen Square from 12.30pm through to 9.30pm on Sunday, May 1 with a host of local bands and performers taking to the stage.
Pete Dando said: “After a two-year absence, we are all looking forward to this year’s Live on the Square. We have five amazing bands performing, two of which have performed previously."

They are Mold’s very own 50 Hertz, who are most definitely a crowd pleaser, and Sidewinder; a hard hitting, fun loving, rock cover band.
There will be three bands performing at the Square for the first time, The Establishment; five local lads who have got together with the aim of bringing guitar music back into mainstream and are looking forward to playing you some tunes.
Sons of Saints; featuring ‘The New Kid’ duo Carys and Keenan along with Ebob and Lori, they are a Blues Rock and Roll band based in Flint, playing a variety of rock and blues hits. And The Bassmen; a three-piece rock and roll band playing the greatest rock songs from the 50's to current day.

Add into the mix a few local solo singers including Ez and Tom Collins, you have an event that promises to be an amazing day of live music.
Pete added: “It has been difficult for everyone over the last few years given the Covid-19 pandemic, and we can’t wait to bring live music back to the Square, again giving a platform for local performers and smiles to everyone’s faces and we look forward to seeing everyone back on the square.”
Tickets are now on sale for the event and organisers advise people to buy their tickets soon as the event is expected to be a sell-out.

Jane Evans Mold Town Council Events and Community Engagement Officer said: “Live on the square is one of the most talked about events in the town and there’s always a fantastic atmosphere, I am delighted to see events returning to the town."
