"We always love playing outdoors and we’ve played fields, parks, farms, rooftops, beaches and back gardens, but an international cricket pitch is a first for us. We always enjoy playing in Wales, we’re looking forward to this show.” said Ricky Wilson.

Venue Chief Executive Hugh Morris hopes that the bill offers exceptional value for ticket buyers and further strengthens the credentials of the historic home of Welsh cricket as a concert venue. Speaking of On The Pitch, Hugh said: “Our vision was to secure a bill of top talent and to provide a festival feel for a summer Saturday crowd - we're delighted to have secured such prestigious acts to play at The SSE SWALEC and we look forward to welcoming them to Wales."
