Wales’ premier alternative rock festival has just revealed its final lineup for the upcoming event in January 2026 at Cardiff’s Tramshed. The two-day festival, named We Are One, will feature a diverse selection of acts ranging from alternative and rock to emo from Wales and beyond.

Among the newly announced additions to the lineup are Dream State, vianova, The Hara, HotWax, Love Rarely, All Ears Avow, and De’Lour.

Meanwhile, German siblings vianova will bring their unique brand of metalcore to the festival, injecting a youthful energy into the scene.
The Manchester-based trio, The Hara, will showcase their intense style honed on their debut album, Survival Mode, released in 2023.
