Catfish & the Bottlemen pull out of Stereophonics Cardiff gig

The Stereophonics' rescheduled gigs at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff have lost one Welsh support act, but gained two more, as Llandudno's Catfish and the Bottlemen have pulled out of the shows later this month.

In a post on the Stereophonics' social media, the band said that Catfish and the Bottlemen would no longer be performing "due to unforeseen practical issues."

The 'Phonics, alongside Tom Jones, will be performing at the Principality Stadium on Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18 and the Bottlemen's slots will be filled by Feeder on the Friday and Gruff Rhys on the Saturday. Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard will also be supporting on both dates.

Both gigs were meant to take place in December 2021 but were postponed due to the rising cases of coronavirus. Tickets bought for the original dates are still valid and there are still tickets available on Ticketmaster, here.

At the time of the cancellation the Principality Stadium and concert promoter Kilimanjaro Live said in a joint statement: "Our top priority has always been the safety and wellbeing of fans and all staff working at these shows, as well as the ability to deliver an outstanding fan experience. In light of the evolving public health situation, Principality Stadium and Kilimanjaro Live have taken the proactive but difficult decision to postpone the shows to next year on June 17th and 18th."
