Stereophonics and Tom Jones are coming together to perform to thousands at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The gig has been a long time coming for fans after it was cancelled in December 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The two Welsh music greats will be performing on Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18. You can read everything you need to know about stage times, banned items, the set list and support acts, here.
To facilitate the major events, a full city centre road closure will be in place. Cardiff Council have said this is on health and safety grounds to ensure people can safely enter and leave the stadium after the concerts.
