Redwood
CANTON STAND STAGE

If you're in the Canton Stand before kick-off, head to the stage to watch Redwood City.

Redwood City are a four-piece alternative indie rock and roll band from Caerphilly, South Wales. Performing at Cardiff City Stadium is not foreign for these boys. Their previous performances before the Cardiff City vs. Millwall matches in January 2023 and October 2024, as well as our recent clash with Queens Park Rangers, brought an electric atmosphere and the band says “to this day, the atmosphere is unmatched”.

The band will be performing covers from bands like The Stone Roses, Oasis and Gerry Cinnamon, but Redwood City have reached out to fans with their own original music. Their debut studio single ‘Uptight’ has now reached over 11,000 streams with their newly released track ‘Ashtray’ working its way up. Their catchy tunes have been aired on multiple radio shows including BBC Radio Wales.

Rivals on the pitch. United against racism.
TOGETHER AGAINST DISCRIMINATION

Football is for everyone. We might support different teams, but football unites and inspires us.

It is a game with many opinions. But there is one on which we should all agree.

Racism and discrimination is not welcome in our game. So if you hear it, report it - whether in the street, at Cardiff City Stadium or online.

And when you see players taking the knee ahead of the game as a simple and peaceful act of protest this season, please respect their choice.

Because we are all Together Against Discrimination.

Every Minute Matters
Every Minute Matters

Cardiff City and Swansea City players will get behind the Every Minute Matters campaign by warming up in specially designed t-shirts to help raise awareness of the importance of CPR.
