Matchday Music

Canton Stand Stage - Anaya and Churchdown

Anaya and Churchdown are back onto the stage for a pre-match performance in the Canton Stand!

Anaya and Churchdown are an upcoming duo based in South Wales. With different backgrounds in music, they both bring different styles to the table and aim to not be confined by one genre, but cross boundaries into country and rock.

Anaya has been a Bluebird since 2017 and is influenced by rock and indie, whereas Churchdown is influenced by modern country and southern rock. They formed earlier this year and have already made radio stations across the world in countries such as New Zealand, USA and Europe. More big opportunities await them in 2024.

Pre-Match Playlist - Rubin Colwill

City midfielder Rubin Colwill will be selecting our pre-match music this week!

The Welsh international has picked five tracks which will be played when the lads head out to warm-up. Get to your seats early to listen to Rubin's tunes!
