Fans at this year’s Judgement Day will not only get to enjoy two fierce local derby matches featuring the Scarlets v Dragons and Cardiff v Ospreys but will also be treated to a full day of entertainment and music. The event which takes place at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday 1 June, concludes the regular season in the BKT United Rugby Championship.
As well as the two huge match-ups featuring a host of international stars and emerging Welsh talent, fans will enjoy a stellar line up of great music acts. The concourse areas of the Ninian Stand, Family Stand and Canton Stand will be transformed into an indoor fanzone with bands, food & drink, DJ’s, presenters, and players all present throughout the day. The music acts will move between stages in each stand so fans get to experience as may of the top musical acts as possible.
