Welsh rock legends Stereophonics are hitting the road again in 2025, and it’s shaping up to be a massive return. It’s been three years since Kelly Jones and the band last toured, and this time, they’re coming back bigger than ever.
Starting off in Belfast, the tour will make stops at some iconic venues, including London’s Finsbury Park, Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park, and, of course, a grand finale at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. For a band whose greatest hits album Decade In The Sun went five times platinum, a colossal hometown show in Cardiff feels like the only fitting end to this summer extravaganza.
This tour follows a busy few years for frontman Kelly Jones, who’s been dabbling in side projects with Far From Saints, alongside his solo album Inevitable Incredible, which cracked the UK Top 10. But now, it’s all about Stereophonics again, and the band seems just as excited as the fans. Jones is ready for the summer crowds, saying, “Being on the road again with my best friends, playing all the hits of this band’s catalogue… makes me so excited. We should make a new album…oh wait…we already did that! See ya there for more good times…TUNE!!! TUNE!!! TUNE!!!”
