Megan Wyn on ‘unbelievable’ support role

A 20-year-old singer from Anglesey described how her mum cried when she told her she will support superstar Alanis Morissette.

The Grammy award-winning Canadian will perform in the Welsh capital on 2 July, and demand for tickets has been so high organisers have had to move the gig to a bigger venue.

Megan Wyn said she is still in shock at being asked to perform as a special guest at Blackweir fields.

The indie-pop artist has listened to Morissette her entire life, adding her mum was a big fan and would play her songs in the house.

Morissette, now 50, had huge international success when her album Jagged Little Pill was released in 1995.

Songs such as Ironic, Hand In My Pocket and Head Over Feet helped her sell millions of copies worldwide.

“It’s unbelievable, I can’t believe it,” Wyn told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.

“It’s nuts. I never thought I’d get to support her.”

The singer said she and her live band would have to treat the concert like “any other gig”.

“Once I start thinking about it as something completely different, I think that’s when things go wrong,” she laughed.

“We’re just going to put on the best show we can.”

US rock singer-songwriter Liz Phair will also perform before Morissette takes to the stage at Blackweir fields.

The performance was initially planned for Cardiff Castle but organisers said demand for tickets was “like nothing we have experienced previously” and moved the show to a new site with a capacity of up to 35,000 people.
