STEREOPHONICS headline Welsh show of epic proportions at the Principality
Not many rock bands in the mainstream can match the track record of Stereophonics. Counting almost three decades in music, the band keep producing the goods, in the studio, as much as on tour.
Leeds Arena is a funny old venue, it obviously hosts around 10,000 fans but, because of the crescent shaping of the stage, has the intimate feel of a theatre or an “O2 academy” vibe. Supported by the wonderfully talented KT Tunstall, the West Yorkshire crowd are fired up, waiting for the Welsh legends to hit the stage.
The first Friday night since the arrival of British Summer Time 2022 was still freezing cold like winter when KT Tunstall took on the challenging role of single-handedly warming up an enthusiastic crowd, eager for the return of Stereophonics to London after a two-year absence.
Just Enough Education To Perform was, recounts Kelly Jones, a massive album for The Stereophonics. It reached number one in the UK charts not just once, but twice. It went six times platinum. It resulted in three young Welshmen headlining Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage and touring America with U2.
