It is not the first time the band from Cwmaman have performed at the iconic stadium and delighted crowds. The band last took to the stage at Principality Stadium in 2022, in a joint concert with Tom Jones, and you can read our review of them, here. Stereophonics will be performing two nights in Cardiff, with frontman Kelly Jones leading the way, Richard Jones on bass guitar, Adam Zindani on lead guitar, Jamie Morrison on the drums and Tony Kirkham on the keyboard. Starting in Belfast at Belsonic, Stereophonics will play some of the UK and Ireland's biggest venues including Dublin St. Anne's Park, Cork Virgin Media Park, London Finsbury Park, Huddersfield John Smith's Stadium, and Glasgow Bellahouston Park as part of their tour. The tour culminates with a huge hometown return to Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Here is everything you need to know about Stereophonics in Cardiff. When are Stereophonics performing in Cardiff? Stereophonics will perform in Cardiff on Friday, July 11 and Saturday, July 12. What time do gates open for Stereophonics in Cardiff? Gates to the Principality Stadium open at 5pm for both gigs.

Stadium map and how to find your gate Here is the stadium map for Stereophonics at the Principality Stadium: (Image: SeeTickets ) This map makes accessing the gates a little clearer if you're anything like us you always forget where which gate is despite being around the Stadium a million times, or you're brand new to the Principality and need a little help. The streets will be busy, too, so slightly harder to navigate. Gates two and three are smack dab at the front entrance on Westgate Street. They are a stone's throw from the bars and restaurants on High Street, Womanby St and Quay Street. Gate 5 is tucked away on Park Street and you'll need to access that by cutting across from Cardiff Central railway station, past Tesco and Greggs before you cross the road, then and passing the Betty Campbell statue then turn left behind the HMRC building, or you can walk to it straight off Westgate Street. You won't be able to go down Scott Road it will be closed off. Gates 6 and 7 are both the riverside entrance side, Cardiff Central end of the boardwalk. Gate 1 is the other end of the boardwalk, the Castle side, but you have to access this by going around, you won't be able to go via the riverside boardwalk. Will the Principality Stadium roof be open or closed? The roof will be open for the gigs. Who is the support act for Stereophonics in Cardiff? Blossoms are the support act (Image: PA ) Stereophonics is being supported by English indie rock band, Blossoms. They are known for their songs There's A Reason Why, Charlemagne, Honey Sweet and Your Girlfriend. The band consists of Tom Ogden who is lead vocals and guitar, Charlie Salt on the bass, Josh Dewhurst as lead guitar and percussion, Joe Donovan on the drums and Myles Kellock on the keyboard. They most recently released their fifth album, Gary, in 2024. Also performing is Teeside singer, Finn Forster. What is the Stereophonics set list for Cardiff? There is no confirmed setlist for Stereophonics in Cardiff but based on their most recent gig in Finsbury Park on Friday, July 4 we are expecting something like this.

Oasis Reunion at Cardiff's Principality Stadium: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know
It's finally happening, folks. In a matter of hours, Liam and Noel Gallagher will be seen sharing the same stage for the first time in 16 long years. Today (Friday July 4 2025), Cardiff Principality Stadium will have the honour of hosting the opening show of Oasis's hotly anticipated reunion tour and the first batch of people who spent hours and hours queuing up online last summer will get to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Here's everything you need to know ahead of Oasis' long-awaited return at Cardiff Principality Stadium. When are Oasis playing Cardiff's Principality Stadium? The brothers will be playing in the Welsh capital on Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5. What time do doors open? The band has shared all the important timings over on their Instagram, with the stadium gates set to open at 5pm. What time will Oasis come on stage? The brothers and their band will take to the stage at 8.15pm following two support acts at 6pm and 7pm. What's the seating plan? Here's an idea of how Principality Stadium will be laid out for the event. Who's supporting Oasis? Two support acts are joining Liam and Noel announced for Oasis Live 2025 – The Verve lead singer Richard Ashcroft and fellow Britpop band, Cast. Setlist Since Cardiff is the first stop on the Oasis reunion tour, we're yet to find out what we should expect from the setlist. That said, we reckon that it's safe to assume that a lot of the band's most well-loved tunes – like 'Don't Look Back in Anger', 'Live Forever', 'Wonderwall' and 'Champagne Supernova' – will feature. Can you still get tickets? Sadly, you're far too late to get tickets for Oasis now. The entire tour sold out within 10 hours when the tickets went on sale last summer. If you're feeling lucky, you can keep an eye on Twickets and Ticketmaster for resale. What's Principality Stadium's bag policy? The stadium says on its website that it's better not to bring a bag at all as there isn't any bag storage available on site. If you absolutely have to bring one with you, just make sure that it's no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm. Banned items Here's a list of everything that is banned from the Principality Stadium Cardiff: Fireworks Flares Pyrotechnics All Horns Including Air Horns Musical Instruments Smoke Canisters Laser Pointers Bottles Glasses Cans Cooking Devices Banners, Poles Large Golf-Type Umbrellas Selfie Sticks Knives, blades and other articles or containers – including any which could or might be used as a weapon Weather forecast Principality Stadium has confirmed that its roof will be closed for both of the Oasis gigs, so you don't really need to worry about the weather. But if you still want to know the forecast, Cardiff will be sunny on Friday, reaching a max temperature of 21C and it'll see rain for most of the day on Saturday. Merch An official Oasis merchandise pop-up will open in the Millennium Plaza near the stadium at 10am on Wednesday, July 2 and will be selling stuff until 11.30pm on Friday, July 4. You can find out what kind of garb will be up for grabs here.
