Statement from Tonnau Festival 

Regarding Incident and Event Closure

​Carreglwyd Estate — 11 July 2026

Everyone at Tonnau Festival is deeply saddened to confirm that a festival attendee tragically passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning following a severe medical emergency.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the attendee’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.

​From the moment the attendee became unwell, our on-site welfare teams, security, and emergency medical staff responded immediately. 

Paramedics and welfare personnel did everything they could to provide emergency care, but unfortunately they later died in hospital.

​The safety and well-being of our audience is always our highest priority. Following this tragedy, and to allow emergency services and local authorities to conduct their necessary work, we made the decision to close the remainder of the festival and have asked people to vacate the site when it is safe for them to do so. We are cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation.

​We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of all our attendees, staff and volunteers during this incredibly difficult situation. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will be making no further comment at this time. 

Our thoughts and hearts are with the family.

An Dannsa Dub ( Live DJ Set )
The project fuses the mystical energy and instruments of traditional Scottish music and Gaelic song with the heavy, meditative, driving basslines digital dub music. Born from a love of traditional Scottish folk, dub reggae and dance music, together they summon the joyous, communal energy of a cèilidh and a sound system session. Their name comes from the Gaelic for “The Dub Dance”. Their sound celebrates the ancient Gaelic and West African rhythms that influenced reggae, which in turn, via sound system culture and dub’s pioneering remixes, produced modern dance music. Their live shows and recordings are a seamless, pulsating fusion of all this and more. Come and check them out 4-6pm on Sunday!
