The Full Ponty

The Full Ponty is a music festival first held in Pontypridd on the 27-28 May, 2006. The name Full Ponty is a pun on Full Monty, and Ponty, the local nickname of the town. The festival is associated with The Pop Factory and is held at Ynysangharad Park, with additional "Fringe" events taking place at various venues throughout Pontypridd, including comedy, and up and coming bands. The events organisers have stated a lack of big name acts as the reason for no Full Ponty 2008 but have promised that it will return in 2009.
