Win tickets to see legendary musician and Velvet Underground co-founder John Cale bringing his avant-garde artistry to Rockhal on 10 March as part of his UK and European tour promoting his latest album, POPtical Illusion.

Renowned Welsh musician and composer John Cale, co-founder of the seminal rock band The Velvet Underground, is set to perform at Rockhal on Monday, 10 March. This concert is part of his extensive UK and European tour, promoting his latest album, called POPtical Illusion.

John Cale's musical journey has been both diverse and influential. After studying music at Goldsmiths College, University of London, he moved to New York City in 1963, immersing himself in the avant-garde scene. There, he collaborated with experimental composers like John Cage and La Monte Young, experiences that profoundly shaped his musical direction.

In 1965, Cale co-founded The Velvet Underground with Lou Reed. The band's innovative fusion of rock and avant-garde music, combined with provocative lyrics, left an indelible mark on the music world, influencing countless artists across various genres.

Beyond The Velvet Underground, Cale's solo career has been marked by experimentation and versatility. His work spans classical compositions, rock, and electronic music. As a producer, he has been instrumental in shaping the sounds of artists like Patti Smith, The Stooges, and The Modern Lovers.

In June 2024, Cale released "POPtical Illusion," his second album in just over a year. The album reflects his continuous evolution as an artist, blending elements of electronic music with his signature avant-garde style. Tracks like "Davies and Wales" showcase his ability to intertwine upbeat melodies with introspective lyrics.

To support the album, Cale is embarking on a UK and European tour which starts today in Munich and rumbles in to Luxembourg on Monday when the Rock/n/Roll Hall Of Famer takes to the Rockhal Club stage.
