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 then promised that it will return in 2009, though as of the 21st of May 2009 there has been no indication of the festival happening. The future of the festival remains in doubt much to the annoyance of fans of the festival who were promised a return of the festival by organisers. The TV show that launched the event (The Pop Factory), is also no longer in existence, therefore further putting the future of the festival in jepoardy.
