Ahead of their BT London Live: Opening Ceremony concert, welsh rockers Stereophonics will embark on a short UK tour in July. Tickets for Stereophonics are onsale this Friday at 9am.
Confirming low-key warm-up shows, Stereophonics will kick off the mini 4-day tour in Llandudno on 22nd July before stopping at venues intimate venues in Derby, Grimsby and Cambridge.
It was recently reported that Stereophonics will release an ambitious new concept album before the end of the year, marking their 20th anniversary.
The band have seven studio albums under their belt and will put out what WalesOnline has described as their "biggest and most ambitious project ever" this October. The new album may even be too big to put out as one release and may even feature some film work too.
Bassist Richard Jones told the site: “We’ve got a good bunch of songs together and we are at the stage now of trying to figure out the best way to release them with some film work as well.”
Frontman Kelly Jones then continued, saying: “For this album we bought our own place in London so we’ve been loving having our own place to work everyday. It’s strange because you are paying your own rent sort of thing you don’t feel the pressure of a clock ticking so you’re more free working. If anything we have ended up with double what we’ve had before really and it’s just a relaxing experience.”
He added: “The complication at the minute is a way of releasing all this music in bite-size chunks so people understand it, appreciate it, so it’s not too far apart and not too close together.”
Kelly went on to talk about the idea of incorporating film work into the release, and said: “We have been trying to make the music around a screenplay we are writing as well and it completely opens your head to new ways of writing and new ways of playing. It has been very expressive and quite unpredictable. We had such a good time making it and the first music will probably be out in October backed up by a visual short film clips.”
