Stereophonics are officially set to wrap up 2025 with a UK arena tour.

The December leg of the tour was announced shortly after their headline performance at Finsbury Park. It will bring the Welsh rock band to eight arenas across the UK. The band will close the run with a show at London's O2 Arena.

The tour comes following their latest album Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry, Make 'em Wait. It debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. Notably, it is the ninth time the band has achieved this feat. Stereophonics is fronted by Kelly Jones.

Stereophonics took to their official Instagram handle to share the trek announcement. The post read:

"Pleased to announce that we will be performing this December in Arenas across the UK! Tickets go on general sale on Friday 11th July at 09.30 am, mailing list subscribers have access to the pre-sale which takes place at 9:30 am on Wednesday 9th July.

Stereophonics was formed in the mid-1990s in Cwmaman, Wales. Their debut album was Word Gets Around (1997). Their second release, Performance and Cocktails (1999), featured beloved tracks like "The Bartender and the Thief" and "Just Looking."
