Canton Stand Stage
If you're in the Canton Stand before kick-off, head to the stage to watch Interum.
They are an energetic group of young musicians with a diverse taste in music, but fell in love with writing indie rock music. They are often compared to the likes of Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age but bring their own unique sound and twist to these songs.
The four members all met in college, and after jamming with each other in and outside of class, decided to form a band. They have been going for over a year and have no intentions of stopping, with some noteworthy gigs being opening for Florence Black, who reached the top 100 albums in the UK charts with their most recent album.
While they enjoy a cover from time to time, they always mix in their own original songs. A few of the band members follow Cardiff City with one of our members supporting the Bluebirds for the majority of his life.

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.
Kick-Off
Kick-off against Wayne Rooney's Plymouth is at 12:30pm.
See you at CCS, Bluebirds!
