Sharleen Spiteri said: "I came to Llangollen for a gig this summer and was blown away by the incredible atmosphere and beautiful venue. We'll have a great night with you next June and I can't wait to see you all."

​The announcement is part of an ongoing partnership with Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor. 

Cuffe and Taylor co-founder Peter Taylor said: “We’ve had the pleasure of working with Texas before and they always put on the best show. They’ve produced hit after hit over 35 incredible years, so their Llangollen debut is definitely not one to miss.”

Artistic Director of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod Dave Danford added: “Texas are undoubtedly one of the UK’s most beloved and enduring bands of the last few decades, and we’re delighted that they’ll be playing a show in the Llangollen Pavilion next summer.

"Sharleen Spiteri visited us during this year’s festival, and it’ll be great to have her back to take centre stage, along with the rest of the band, for a night to remember.”

It has already been announced that global pop rock sensation The Script will headline Live at Llangollen Pavilion on Thursday, July 3.
