Summary
- Fontaines D.C. singer wore a Cwmbran FC away shirt during headline set.
- Shirt pre-sales nearly doubled following the festival performance.
- Sales support the club and grassroots music venues.
A semi-professional Welsh football club has experienced a significant surge in interest after their shirt was prominently featured during a major music festival. Fontaines D.C., headlining the Reading Festival, saw their lead vocalist, Grian Chatten, don a green and white-striped Cwmbran away shirt on stage.
This unexpected act of support caused a remarkable impact, with pre-sales for the Cwmbran FC shirt nearly doubling. The club expressed immense gratitude on social media, stating they were still in shock.
The sales initiative has a charitable component, with proceeds benefiting both the club and grassroots music venues. Cwmbran FC has further aligned with the music scene by partnering with four notable bands for their 2026/27 season team kits, including Super Furry Animals and Mogwai, who also sponsors the shirt worn by Chatten.
