CHART-toppers Little Mix, will headline an outdoor concert at Caldicot Castle as part of the group’s series of Summer Shout Out shows.

The band, made up of former X-Factor contestants Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, will take the stage at the castle’s picturesque country park on Thursday, July 13.

Last year the band had another massive number one single with ’Shout Out To My Ex’, and their album ’Glory Days’, went straight to the top of the official albums chart.

The record has spent a total of four weeks in the peak position and is the quickest selling album in the UK charts by a girl group since Destiny’s Child’s ’Survivor’ in 2001. It is also the longest-reigning girl group number one album of the millennium.

This summer, Little Mix will perform their signature hits, including ‘Shout Out to My Ex’, ‘Move’ and ‘Touch’ alongside tracks from their new album ‘Glory Days’ in the castle’s beautiful surroundings.

Special guests are to be announced.

Tickets are £38.50 each, including fees, are will be available from 9am on Thursday, January 19 at Monmouthshire’s leisure centres, online at www.caldicotcastle.co.uk or from the box office on 029 2022 4488.

Golden Circle pit tickets are also available at £60.50 each, including fees, from online or the box office.

Last summer the castle hosted a sell-out concert by rockers Status Quo.

Cllr Bob Greenland, Monmouthshire’s Cabinet member with responsibility for innovation, enterprise and leisure, said: “I am absolutely thrilled that we will stage another brilliant concert with world-class artists in the beautiful country park of Caldicot Castle this summer.

"We look forward to welcoming thousands of visitors, as well as residents, of all ages to Monmouthshire again."

Dan Davies, who has responsibility for Monmouthshire’s events, added: “This is hugely exciting and we look forward to putting on a brilliant concert.

"We have incredible venues in the county to show off.”
