Stereophonics wow fans at second sold out Principality show
With the roof open and 30°C heat radiating through the crowd, the band roared through a 24-song set packed with fan favourites and a few surprises. Kelly Jones led the charge with his signature swagger, launching into classics like 'The Bartender and the Thief,' 'Just Looking,' 'Maybe Tomorrow,' and the anthem-like 'Local Boy in the Photograph.' Newer material from Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry, Make 'em Wait, found its place among the hits, providing emotional texture between stadium-shaking choruses. Stereophonics wow fans at second sold out Principality show (Image: Damian Edmunds) With ukelele at the ready and anecdotes aplenty, a stripped-back solo rendition of 'Step on My Old Size Nines' offered one of the night's most intimate moments, just Kelly, a spotlight, and 60,000 voices singing in unison. The return of 'It Means Nothing' to the setlist was a welcome surprise, and their cover of 'Handbags and Gladrags' proved once again why their take on the classic still resonates. Support acts Blossoms and Finn Forster warmed up the crowd admirably, but the main event was pure spectacle, giant balloons, pyrotechnics, and a euphoric stadium-wide singalong to 'Dakota' made for a fitting climax.

South Wales' ageing transport infrastructure added its own chorus of complaints, packed trains, hours-long tailbacks on the M4, and logistical chaos left many fans frustrated both before and after the gig. Inside, the sting of £8 pints didn't go unnoticed either. But once the band hit the stage, gripes gave way to grins. After more than 30 years in the game, Stereophonics proved they are still masters of the stadium experience, blending grit, charm and timeless tunes in a night that few in Cardiff will forget.
