Stereophonics have announced a UK arena tour in December – buy tickets here.
The Welsh rockers, whose latest album ‘Make ‘Em Laugh, Make ‘Em Cry, Make ‘Em Wait’ came out in April and reached Number One, shared the news this afternoon (July 7) partway through the band’s current run of outdoor and stadium summer shows.
Their winter tour will take in nine UK cities, beginning in Nottingham on December 4 and finishing with a show at The O2 in London on December 18 – Newcastle, Sheffield, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool will also host the four-piece.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday, July 11, at 9:30am, while mailing list subscribers get access to the presale on Wednesday, also at 9:30am. Sign up for the mailing list here, and buy tickets on general sale here.

Speaking to NME in April, Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones said: “The shows keep getting bigger and bigger wherever we go and the audiences get younger, three generations, two generations, people who followed the band back in the day but there’s also people who have just discovered us now, which is amazing.”
He explained that, of their 13 albums to date, “Each record has had at least two or three hits,” adding: “I couldn’t think of anything worse than having to play your first album over and over. I’m proud of the work we’ve done from day one and I love it when some kid comes up to us and says he only discovered us in 2016.”
The interview also touched on Oasis’ reunion, Jones saying it’s “pretty amazing” that they wanted to tour again and describing touring with them in the past as being “pretty messy but good fun”.
Suggesting that many people aren’t as engaged with the music they’re listening to as they were in the past, he added: “That’s why the live show is so exciting because the band is still in control of that. That’s why it’s amazing that bands like Oasis, bands like ourselves, bands like whoever, watching somebody else’s huge show and the energy they’re putting into the world on a nightly basis whether you like their music or not, it’s an energy that’s being put to fucking thousands, hundreds of thousands of people on a daily basis and that can only be a good thing no matter who the performer is. People need it now more than they’ve needed it in a long time.”
