Stereophonics and Tom Jones in Cardiff 2022: Start times and running order for the Principality Stadium gig

Iconic Welsh artists Stereophonics and Tom Jones are taking over the Principality Stadium for two nights running. The gigs are in place of their cancelled concerts which were meant to take place in December 2021.

The concerts have an incredible line-up of Welsh artists and there will be three different support acts across the two nights. Stereophonics and Tom Jones will be playing in the Principality Stadium on Friday, June, 17, and Saturday, June, 18. You can read everything you need to know about the gig here.

Originally Catfish and the Bottlemen were going to be the support act for both concerts but have pulled out of the gig due to "unforeseen practical issues". Now two famous Welsh artists Feeder and Gruff Rhys will be supporting.
