Both concerts are part of their upcoming Stadium Anthems tour. Starting at Belsonic in Belfast on June 5, the tour will bring Stereophonics to eight of the biggest venues across the UK and Ireland, ending with a two-night run at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

The tour celebrates their upcoming album, Make 'em Laugh Make 'em Cry Make 'em Wait, which is set to release on April 25.

"Being on the road again with my best friends, playing all the hits of this band's catalogue, for people in huge outdoor gatherings through the summer of 2025 makes me so excited, we should make a new album," said frontman Kelly Jones. "Oh wait. We already did that!"

Stereophonics debuted in 1997 with their LP Word Gets Around, quickly becoming one of the UK's most successful alternative rock groups, with eight number one albums.
