Stereophonics are to play an intimate gig in Cardiff for Radio X on Thursday 2nd November. Just 1200 tickets will be available for the band’s intimate show at Cardiff University’s Great Hall, which is in support of Radio X’s charity Global’s Make Some Noise.
With six number one albums and sales of more than ten million albums worldwide, Stereophonics are one of the biggest Welsh acts of all time. Having celebrated twenty years since the release of their seminal debut ‘Word Gets Around’ earlier this year, they release their tenth studio album ‘Scream Above the Sounds’ on October 27th, the week before their intimate Radio X gig. With the Cwmaman band set to play a huge sold-out arena tour in 2018, tickets for their intimate South Wales show for Radio X and charity Global’s Make Some Noise are expected to be in high demand.
Kelly Jones said: “We’re going to be playing a small intimate show in Cardiff University, the place I used to throw cassettes on the stage to other famous bands to hope they would open them. I don’t think we’ve played there since 1997. It’s going to be good, and Cardiff Uni is great craic!”
Richard Jones said: “Cardiff Uni was the place for us to check out quite a few bands when we were younger, and it’s the venue where we were given our first gold records for ‘Word Gets Around’. So for us to be coming back and doing a gig for a great charity it will be bringing back lots of fond memories. Hopefully it’s still £1 a pint in the student uni bar!”
Matt Deverson, Radio X’s managing editor, said: “Stereophonics returning to South Wales to play an intimate gig especially for Radio X is very exciting. They’re one of the biggest bands in the country and huge favourites of our listeners. With a major UK arena tour lined up for 2018, to have them perform for just 1200 fans in Cardiff is very special indeed.”
Tickets for Radio X presents… Stereophonics go on sale on Friday October 13th at 9am and are available from www.radiox.co.uk. The gig is in support of Radio X’s charity, Global’s Make Some Noise.
