Indie-pop trio Germein, made up of sisters, Georgia (guitar and lead vocals), Ella (bass) and Clara (drums) hail from South Australia.
Germein began turning heads following the release of debut album Because You Breathe in 2013. Taking the lead from strong female artists like HAIM and CHVRCHES and inspired by the vocal harmonies of iconic bands such as Queen and Fleetwood Mac.
With an impressive list of accolades under their belt, including opening for pop icons Little Mix, Ronan Keating, Phil Collins, Jess Glynne, and multiple times for Tom Jones, the Australian sibling trio promises a treat for Llangollen audiences when they join the international and multi-award-winning artist in North Wales.
The headlining show will form part of the core week of the 2024 Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod which will also see concerts with Welsh icon Katherine Jenkins and international best-selling artist Gregory Porter.
Along with the core week of the festival running from July 2 - 7, this year sees a series of concerts taking place as part of a new partnership between Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor.
Tom Jones, Katherine Jenkins and Gregory Porter join global rock stars Simple Minds and British pop giants Madness. Indie heroes Kaiser Chiefs, Manic Street Preachers and Suede all perform, as well as BRIT award-winning artist Paloma Faith, chart-topper Jess Glynne, disco legends Nile Rodgers & CHIC and global rock star Bryan Adams among the artists to headline dates either side of the iconic peace festival in 2024.
Artistic Director at the Llangollen Eisteddfod Dave Danford said: “Tom Jones has been the talk of the town ever since we announced our 2024 line-up, and the opening night of our Core Eisteddfod Week will now be even bigger, with Germein warming up the stage for him.
"Their catchy brand of indie pop will be just the ticket to build the excitement."
